Auckland: Te Puia Rotorua & Waitomo Caves Small Group with Lunch
This tour combines two of New Zealand’s most iconic highlights in one unforgettable day. Depart from Auckland and enjoy a scenic drive through the Waikato countryside as your guide sets the scene for the experiences ahead. Visit Te Puia in Rotorua — where nature, culture, and tradition come together. Discover the mighty Pōhutu Geyser, bubbling mud pools, and Māori carving and weaving demonstrations. See New Zealand’s national bird at the Kiwi Conservation Centre, and enjoy a powerful Māori cultural performance showcasing the songs, dances, and stories of Aotearoa. Continue to the world-famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves, where you’ll venture underground to marvel at limestone formations and take a serene boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto — illuminated by thousands of tiny lights that sparkle like a starry night. Together, Te Puia and Waitomo capture the best of New Zealand’s natural wonders and cultural heritage in one inspiring day.
