Ben has been a guide in the Rotorua region for 20 years now, this large handsome Maori man always wears a smile, has a great sense of humour and is an accomplished singer. We are sure if you ask him to sing you a Maori song he will burst in to Song to the delight of all around. Learn about Maori traditions, visit a Maori Marae (meeting house), experience geothermal reserves and bubbling mud pools, hike through the spectacular Waimangu Volcanic Valley, discover the region around Rotorua and Taupo that is the ancestral land of Ben's Iwi (tribe), but most of all, simply experience Ben! A day with Ben is a day to remember for a lifetime.
