The journey begins with an early departure from Auckland, travelling through picturesque countryside toward Rotorua — the country’s adventure capital.

High among towering redwood trees, this eco-adventure features a network of ziplines, swing bridges, cliff walks, and elevated forest platforms.

After the treetop adventure, the day slows down as you head to the breathtaking Blue Springs (Te Waihou Walkway). Famous for its exceptionally pure water, the springs shimmer in brilliant turquoise tones as they flow gently through lush greenery. Guests enjoy a scenic walk along well-maintained trails, surrounded by native plants, clear streams, and picture-perfect views. It’s an ideal setting for nature lovers and photographers, offering peace, fresh air, and a genuine connection with New Zealand’s pristine environment.
