What you can expect
Set out on a day trip from Auckland, combining the beauty of Wai-O-Tapu and the scenic Redwoods tree walk. Travelling in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, you’ll journey through the Waikato countryside, past farmland, mighty rivers, and the corrugated-iron creations of Tirau. In Rotorua, enjoy a guided city highlights tour, taking in iconic sights like Lake Rotorua, Government Gardens, and the historic Blue Baths before heading deeper into nature’s wonders.
At Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, you'll have 90 minutes to explore extraordinary geothermal features, including bubbling mud pools, the Champagne Pool, and the incredible landscapes that make this region so famous. After a lunch break, continue to the Whakarewarewa Forest, where the Redwoods tree walk lets you wander high above the forest floor on suspended bridges and platforms surrounded by Californian Redwoods. As the day winds down, you'll return to Auckland, with a few secret stops along the way. This small-group tour is the perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and Kiwi charm.
