Wonderful
We made our booking for the day after our trip to Rotorua but they were kind enough to let us on despite the mistake made at our our end at no extra cost. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Beautiful views, good commentary to learn a few things. Food we brought on board was decent however using real cheese rather than melted plastic-ey textured cheese slices on toasted sandwich things would've have been nicer.
