Description
Climb aboard your deluxe coach tour in the morning and leave Auckland city behind as you wind through rural New Zealand. Take in scenic rolling hills, the picturesque farmland of the Waikato and enjoy a short break for morning tea (included) en route. Upon arrival at Waitomo Caves, embark on a guided tour that’ll take you into the heart of this subterranean wonderland. Wind through tunnels and caverns on foot then hop on a small boat and glide down an underground river into the famous Glowworm Cave, lit by the bioluminescence of thousands of tiny glowworms. Allow your eyes to adjust as you board your coach for the onward journey to Rotorua. Tuck into a picnic lunch on board and listen as your driver provides informative commentary along the way. In Rotorua, ride up Mount Ngongotaha on the Skyline Gondola for breathtaking views over Lake Rotorua and the unique geothermal landscape. Take a walk on one of the nature trails or ride the luge (additional cost), then hop back on your coach and head over to Te Puia. Enjoy a traditional Māori performance at Te Puia then explore the Māori Arts & Crafts Institute where you can see the ancient wood carving and textile weaving techniques passed down to today’s generation. Depart Rotorua at approximately 5:00 PM for the return journey to Auckland, arriving around 8:30 PM.Includes
