As newcomers to 4WD, we had a great time on this tour. Our guide was really good at talking us through everything, and making sure we felt confident and secure in what we were doing. We were raving about to all our friends for the next few days.

Joanne T, Jan 2008

I've never been quite the adventurous type so I was a little concerned about taking this trip however there was absolutely no need to worry as it looked much more difficult than what it was! I absolutely loved the challenge and felt so proud of myself when I completed it. I would LOVE to take this trip again. Absolute highlight of my trip to Rotorua.
