Experience two of New Zealand’s iconic attractions in a single day with our full-day tour, offering a special deal when you book both adventures together. After being picked up from Auckland CBD, you’ll journey south through the stunning Waikato Region on a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Upon arrival, take a moment to grab a snack or warm drink at the café before joining your guide for an unforgettable tour inside the Waitomo Grotto. Walk through the magical glow created by thousands of tiny living worms unique to New Zealand and learn about the cave’s history and significance. The highlight of your visit is a serene flat-bottom boat ride along the Waitomo River, bringing you up close to the glowing creatures in their natural habitat.

Next, hop back on your comfortable vehicle for a two-hour drive to Rotorua, where you’ll explore the geothermal wonders and rich Māori culture at Te Puia. Witness the Pohutu Geyser, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, marvel at boiling mud pools, and visit the National Wood Carving School and Prehistoric Māori Village. Keep an eye out for native Kiwi birds and enjoy a glimpse of a traditional Māori Haka performance. After approximately two hours immersed in the sights, sounds, and culture of Rotorua, you’ll be transported back to Auckland CBD, concluding a full day of adventure, natural wonders, and cultural experiences.
