点评:Booked our tour from our cruise ship, but I believe they also do this for other groups. What a bloody marvellous day. Leona and her fill-in driver Gavin were a wealth of knowledge and very friendly to boot. Our first stop was a kiwi fruit farm where Gavin told us all about the different types of kiwi, how kiwi are grown and the kiwi co-ops and export rules and regs. We got to taste some green and gold kiwi, dried kiwi and a couple of different honeys
Our next stop was the Rotorua Polynesian Spa. My Lordy, what a wonderful experience. 90 minutes of soaking in alkaline and acidic pools of varying temperatures. Bliss! The spa provided towels and toiletries so no need to take your own. Leona provided us with recyclable/reusable bags to take our wet costumes in.
Our last stop was the wonderful Te Puia where we ate a delicious hangi buffet, saw some bubbling mud pools, witnessed the awesome Pohutu geyser going off, and saw the newest kiwi addition to the Kiwi Conservation program. Our guide, Baden, taught us about the Māori people, the Māori language and the Māori culture. Cannot recommended this stop enough!
All in all, one of the best tours I have ever been on. 100 out of 10!
翻译:我们是在邮轮上预订的行程,不过我相信他们也为其他旅行团提供这项服务。真是太棒了!Leona 和她的代班司机 Gavin 知识渊博,而且非常友好。我们的第一站是一个奇异果农场,Gavin 向我们详细介绍了不同种类的奇异果、奇异果的种植方法、奇异果合作社以及出口规则和条例。我们还品尝了绿奇异果、金奇异果、奇异果干和几种不同的蜂蜜。
下一站是罗托鲁瓦波利尼西亚水疗中心。我的天哪,真是太美妙了!我们在不同温度的碱性池和酸性池中浸泡了 90 分钟,简直太舒服了!水疗中心提供毛巾和洗漱用品,所以不用自带。莉奥娜给我们准备了可回收/可重复使用的袋子,用来装湿衣服。
最后一站是美丽的蒂普亚,我们在那里享用了美味的毛利传统烹饪(hangi)自助餐,参观了冒着气泡的泥浆池,目睹了壮观的波胡图间歇泉喷发,还看到了奇异鸟保护计划中最新加入的成员。我们的导游巴登向我们介绍了毛利人、毛利语和毛利文化。强烈推荐大家来这里!
总而言之,这是我参加过的最棒的旅行之一。满分100分!
