From Auckland to Rotorua Waiotapu and Activity Combinations

Overview

Start your Rotorua adventure at Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, home to vibrant geothermal features like the Champagne Pool, bubbling mud pools, and steaming vents. Witness the spectacular eruption of the Lady Knox Geyser, shooting water high into the air. After this breathtaking experience, the afternoon is yours to tailor. Immerse yourself in Māori culture at Whakarewarewa – The Living Māori Village, where you’ll engage with the local community, experience traditional performances, and explore an active geothermal landscape. For a deeper dive, visit Te Puia – Te Rā & Haka, home to the iconic Pōhutu Geyser, bubbling mud pools, and the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, where you can witness traditional carving, weaving, and a haka performance. Alternatively, relax in the Polynesian Spa’s mineral-rich pools or take a serene walk through the Redwoods Forest. Please note that due to time constraints, only one additional activity can be selected for the afternoon.
