What you can expect
Come along on a full-day tour to Rotorua, where natural wonders and rich Māori culture combine for an unforgettable experience. Begin from Auckland with hotel pick-up, setting off through the Waikato countryside, passing farmland, rivers, and scenic hills. Make a short coffee stop along the way and journey through the town of Tirau, famous for its corrugated iron sculptures, before arriving in Rotorua for a guided city highlights tour.
Continue your day at Te Puia with a 90-minute guided tour, visiting the carving and weaving schools, exploring the Kiwi Conservation Centre, and watching the Pōhutu Geyser erupting high into the air. Then immerse yourself in a live cultural performance with traditional songs, dances, and the powerful haka. Finally, a delicious buffet lunch awaits, featuring a variety of local and international dishes. After your visit, sit back and relax on the return drive to Auckland, with a few surprise stops along the way, to successfully round off this unforgettable Rotorua day trip.
