I wasn’t sure what to expect from this experience, but it greatly exceeded all our hopes. This is not for the faint hearted as you are welcomed by the fearsome Māori warriors upon arrival. Once you survive the greeting it becomes evident this is an incredibly talented family. It’s an immersive experience whereby you take part in games, sports, foods and finally get to practice the Haka yourself. Not quite as easy as it looks :) There’s a great mix of culture, fun and plenty of laughs. The final performance of the Haka up close and personal delivers the intimidation as seen on the rugby field. It is awesome to watch live. Dinner in the dining hall is delivered in multiple courses of foods cooked the traditional way, and it’s excessive so don’t eat for 24 hours prior! This is a family clearly very proud of their culture and what they do here. The Chiefs daughter is a serious talent, and we couldn’t have been more impressed by how professional and enjoyable the evening was. This experience is worth travelling to Rotorua on its own for. Thanks to everyone for a fantastic night and experience 🙏🏻

My husband and I went on the private tour from Auckland of the Te Pa Tu Cultural Experience. It was absolutely incredible! The experience was educational, enlightening and so enjoyable. The food was also amazing - so good and so much of it! If you want to learn about the Māori people and culture, this is the place to do it for sure. Our driver and guide, Karthik, was also incredible. This is a very long day - about 11 hours, and he kept us entertained and enlightened with so much history, culture, details of plants, geology, just about everything you could ever want to know about the area. We really loved our time with Karthik and highly recommend him to anyone coming to the area!

Visiting Māori culture center was important to me so I was happy to have the option to private transfer from Auckland to Rotorua, back to Auckland. Karthik was a great guide to have with me. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. This cultural experience includes dance performance and educational info. Other attendees shared that they preferred this experience because it was more interactive versus other options they had attended. Thank you for hosting me.

We booked a last minute trip to New Zealand and when we went to book tickets for Hobbiton, we couldnt find anything! I emailed this company, they replied immediately, helped me navigate the purchase and were able to secure spots for my family. From there everything was super smooth. Pick up on time to the minute, knowledgeable guide and amazing transport bus. Highly recommend!

Me and my family love to hear the driver’s detailed explanation about several events and tourist destinations along the journey

We had a great day out visiting the Bay of Islands. The views were lovely esp of the Hole in the Rock. We had a good lunch at one of the Islands where you could swim, paddle, walk or just relax Karthick our Tour Operator was awesome with good commentary & service. I would recommend Tours with this company. Lisa D (Australia)

The trip is a bucket list experience. From the breathtaking views of the Coromandel coast to the once in a life time experience of Hot water beach, every moment of this trip is packed with unforgettable scenery and experiences. Martyn's sincere love for and finessed knowledge of the area as well as attentive care for his passangers were the cherry on top of already unforgettable trip. Well organized truly small group trip.

I did the Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove Beach tour with Karthik. It was a beautiful day and Karthik did a very good job planning it. I had a great time!

I cannot rave enough about this tour. The experience is out of this world. Our guides were George & Rebekah (I don’t think I spelt that right) They both were friendly, engaging, knowledgable and most importantly made us feel very safe. Floating in the dark, with glow worms above our heads and George singing, was mesmerising. Yes, the water was cold.

This is what we want to see in NZ and we were not disappointed From our arrival to the invite to come inside the village is nothing short of amazing The Mori dancing from both male and females was also amazing The food we sampled and at each area they explained their culture it was breathtaking The main meal cooked as a traditional hangi is something else

Wonderful! Our guide, Mary, was so helpful, and cheerfully shared her deep knowledge of the area and the People. The Maori Cultural Experience was awe inspiring, the Hell's Gate Mud Baths and geothermal pools were a unique experience. Saw the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Pools: hard to believe they are actually on this planet.Would definitely recommend: 5/5.

The driver Ama is knowledgeable and helpful, she makes 5 hours drive (round trip) in bus very vibrant and lots of fun and laughter. The tour inside of cave is an unforgettable experience, must try once in a life time!!!

Our tour guide, Ama, was engaging and had a focus on the customer. She gave us a great all round experience and added some great Māori history and stories which helped whittle away the long drive to Wiatomo.

ExperienceKart were first class. Karthik, our guide, was excellent. He was very engaging and kept us entertained for the entire trip to the Bay of Islands with interesting information about places we passed , Maori history and recent events. As we were the only pick up on this tour, Karthik went out of his way with stops at Whangarei Town so we could see the quirky Hundertwasser public toilets, which have to be seen to be believed, not a straight line in sight! We also stopped at Whangarei Falls, totally amazing. We had time to get to the bottom for some fantastic photos. On arrival at Bay of Islands Karthik organised our tickets for our boat trip and escorted us to our vessel, Dolphin Seeker. Our Bay of Islands cruise was 4 hours we stopped at Russell, the first capital of New Zealand and then onward cruising past many of the islands within the Bay. The captain kept us entertained with stories stopping at the plaque which commemorates Captain Cook's landing. Onward to the Hole in the Rock for some amazing photo's. We also stopped on one of the islands for food and a walk, there was kayaking, snorkelling etc activities available. On our arrival back at dock Karthik was waiting to drive us back to Auckland. Again, the drive back was full of interesting information, great banter and conversation. ExpericeKart and Karthik are an exceptional tour company who go the extra mile for their clients. This was an amazing day made more so by ExperienceKart and Karthik, thank you for a memorable day.

My boyfriend and I took this day trip with Experience Kart to the Waitomo Glowworm and Ruakuri Twin Cave. We have been driving all around the North Island and wanted to give my boyfriend a break from driving. The pickup and drop off from our hotel in central Auckland was smooth and the drive to the cave was relaxing in the van. Our driver and tour guide, Karthik, gave a great tour with fun little tidbits of New Zealand. The glowworm cave itself was amazing, but the addition of the Ruakuri Cave made the drive worth it. I would recommend this tour company to anybody who wants to see the cool sights of New Zealand, but is weary about driving all the time.
