Embark on a full-day adventure from Auckland to two iconic destinations, including the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and the Te Puia geothermal valley. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Waikato countryside before arriving at Waitomo. Here, you get to explore caves filled with incredible rock formations and board a silent boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto, where thousands of glow worms illuminate the cave ceiling.
The experience continues with a journey south to Rotorua and Te Puia, where Māori culture and geothermal landscapes await. Watch a cultural performance featuring the haka, poi dance, and traditional stick games, before joining a guided walk through Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley. You'll see bubbling mud pools and the world-famous Pohutu Geyser shooting steaming water high into the air. You’ll also have access to Te Puia’s carving and weaving schools, where master artists pass down their skills. This small-group tour delivers a day filled with natural beauty, culture, and history, making for a perfect New Zealand adventure.
