Creator's Key Takeaways

It is absolutely must. It is absolutely amazing. We'll give you all the details.

You cannot replicate it. You know, there's experiences in different countries and cities that you can get in other places. You cannot replicate that.

We got soaked underneath the waterfall. It was great. Said it took 10 years off. You you get it on your face. It makes you look 10 years younger.

This is a smaller bus. Big buses can't get back here. Consider that when you're booking your tour.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a tour with a smaller bus to access more locations.
Bring a rain coat for the boat cruise.
Taste the Manuka honey at the Winnie the Pooh stop.
