Description

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from Auckland in our modern, air-conditioned minibus. As you journey south through the lush Waikato countryside, your guide sets the scene for the day ahead, sharing fascinating stories, local legends, and cultural insights. With small groups and thoughtful details, we ensure a personalised, unhurried experience from start to finish. Visit the Waitomo Glowworm Caves for a guided tour & descend into an underground world of ancient limestone formations. Glide silently along the grotto river beneath thousands of twinkling glowworms in a magical boat ride you’ll never forget. **Due to the delicate ecosystem within the Waitomo Caves, photography is not permitted inside. This policy helps protect the glowworms and limestone formations, ensuring the preservation of this unique environment for future visitors to enjoy. Make a stop at Te Puia Geothermal Park for a guided 90 minute tour. Discover the power and beauty of nature at Te Puia, where boiling mud pools, steaming vents, and the mighty Pōhutu Geyser showcase Rotorua’s volcanic heart. Immerse yourself in Māori culture with a guided walk through the National Māori Arts School and even catch a glimpse of the rare Kiwi bird. A guided drive showcasing Rotorua’s most famous landmarks, including Lake Rotorua, Government Gardens & the iconic Blue Baths will complete your time in Rotorua, before we make our way back to Auckland.
