Description:
Discover the geothermic wonders of Rotorua and learn about the Maori culture on this day tour. Additionally, visit the Waitomo Caves and witness thousands of small glowworms clinging to the cave walls.
Leave Auckland in the morning for a trip south into Waikato region. After a break in Huntly, stop at the ZORB ball attraction. Climb inside the large bubble with a splash of water, and ride down the hill for a wet and bouncy ride (at your own expense).
Continue your tour to Rotorua, known for its unique geothermal properties and strong ties to the Maori culture. Pass by picturesque Lake Rotorua, the Government Gardens, and the Jade Factory. Then, visit the Maori village Te Whakarewarewa, one of the major thermal areas with hot springs, mud pools, geysers, and the famous Pohutu geyser. Enjoy a traditional Maori show and see a Marae–a Maori sacred place. Learn about their culture, their dancing, and their way of life.
Afterwards, take a break while your driver takes you to the Waitomo region to visit the Kiwi Kiwi House in Otorohanga. Marvel at New Zealand's immense public collection of native birds, including the kiwi – the national symbol of New Zealand.
Finally, visit the glowworm caves for a guided tour. Here, hop on a boat and marvel at the thousands of glowworms in the underground labyrinth of limestone caves and formations. After your tour concludes, head back to Auckland.
