Overview
What you will be doing
Auckland
Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city!
Waikato
Exiting Auckland, we travel south through the stunning Waikato countryside, the most extensive farming area in the world, encountering beautiful scenery, mighty rivers, great photo opportunities, impressive mountains and several farm animals along the way. During our adventure in the Waikato we will also stop for a quick coffee break at a special location.
Tirau
Continuing our journey to Rotorua, we pass through Tirau, famously dubbed the 'Corrugated Iron Capital of the World' because of the many unique corrugated iron sculptures and buildings. This town never fails to get a look and a laugh and our guides will point out all the main highlights on the way through.
Te Puia
On arrival in Rotorua, your first stop is the world-renowned Te Puia. Here, you'll enjoy a fully guided tour of this iconic cultural and geothermal park. Marvel at the impressive Pohutu Geyser, bubbling mud pools, and steaming fumaroles. Learn about the traditions, artistry, and history of the Māori people as you explore the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, where master carvers and weavers preserve and share their ancient crafts. Don't miss the chance to see the elusive kiwi bird at the onsite Kiwi House!
Lunch
After your Te Puia experience, you will have the opportunity to purchase some lunch.
Polynesian Spa
he afternoon takes a serene turn as you arrive at the luxurious Polynesian Spa. Enjoy exclusive entry to the Deluxe Lake Spa, where you’ll soak in geothermal mineral pools overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Rotorua. The natural mineral-rich waters, sourced from two unique springs, are known for their therapeutic properties, providing ultimate relaxation for body and mind.
Auckland
Sadly the tour must come to an end as we re-enter Auckland and say our goodbyes.
