So happy you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for visiting :)
Wow, I was the only person on the tour so was really able to ask lots of questions. Staff were really attentive and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the experience.
Thank you for the review Donna, so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Great little tour about where the jade comes from. Procedure of carving and polishing was shown. The lovely piece of jade was given to each of us in the end of the tour. Well worth if you are in Rotorua.
Thanks for visiting!
Well thought through presentation and delivery. Watching the making of a piece from start to finish was informative and up close. Nice momento to take away at the end of the tour capped it off beautifully.
Tour was good, our guide was very knowledgeable and the carver was really nice. Only bummer was they lost water before the tour started so we didn’t get to see any of the actual carving process in action

Great tour and definitely worth it!
The tour was great! Nice insights into the process of carving Pounamu. The guide was really kind and passionate about the whole topic. In the end you could even select one small piece of pounamu to keep from a range of different smaller pieces, neat!
