Customer Reviews
Die Touren waren toll. Es wurde viel erzählt die Wanderung wie die Rafting Tour waren super. Die Kommunikationen zwischen den Touren sind schlecht kommuniziert worden. Die Wander Guides wussten nicht wer noch zum Rafting sollte. Wir wussten gar nicht wann wir abgeholt werden sollten.
Waren zwei mega coole Ausflüge! Sowohl Mt Tarawera als auch das Rafting! Mega sehenswert und macht sehr viel Spaß! Nur wenn man es als Kombi gebucht hat, muss man sich trotzdem um beide Abholpunkte selbst kümmern. Wäre schön, wenn die Guides morgens wissen, wann und wo man mittags wieder abgeholt wird.
10/10 - fun, action and adrenaline packed adventure! The guides were awesome, made everyone feel safe and comfortable. They definitely went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. Both hiking and rafting experiences are all worth it! The highlight of my trip. Thanks to my guides Jesse and Caruzo. Ps. You’ll be fine even if you can’t swim.
