Meet Kahu at Te Puia
Kahu’s got jokes, songs and yarns for days. He’s bubblier than the mud pools and the best guy in town to show you round the geysers. Hang out with him on a guided tour of Te Puia and try to guess how old he is (HINT: he’s a lot older than you think).
Meet Lela at Velocity Valley
When taking on the adventure park of Velocity Valley, it’s safe to say you’ll need a steady pair of hands to guide you. Enter Lela. She’s used to smashing out 140kg deadlifts, so 100kph jet boat rides are all in a day’s work. She’s the perfect guide to take you for a white-knuckle spin round the valley and doesn’t even laugh – much – when you squeal.
Meet Owen at ZORB Rotorua
At ZORB Rotorua there’s a Tiger. Well, not really. But there is a very good golfer and excellent ZORB instructor called Owen. If you’re up for a ‘loser does the dishes’ or ‘loser pays for dinner’ race down the hill, then he’s your man.
