What you can expect

Experience a full-day adventure from Auckland, blending Rotorua’s culture, geothermal wonders, and world-class relaxation into one trip. Journey through the Waikato countryside, with farmland, rivers, and mountains as your backdrop, before passing through the township of Tirau with its iconic corrugated-iron creations. On arrival in Rotorua, your driver-guide will introduce the city’s highlights, from Lake Rotorua to the historic Government Gardens.

Your first major stop is Te Puia, where a 90-minute guided tour lets you explore Māori culture and the region’s geothermal landscape. Watch the Pōhutu Geyser erupt, wander past mud pools, and see master carvers and weavers at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. After a lunch break, the Polynesian Spa awaits, with therapeutic mineral-rich waters to fully relax. This day tour offers the ultimate mix of culture, nature, and indulgence, perfect for a refreshing escape from Auckland.
