Tour Overview

Embark on a day of discovery and excitement with our premium, private tour from Auckland to the heart of Rotorua, known for its vibrant geothermal activity and rich cultural history. Travel in comfort aboard a luxurious Mercedes vehicle, guided by experts who bring the landscape to life through stories and insights into New Zealand's heritage.

Your adventure begins at the Agrodome Kiwi Farm, a unique attraction where the rural life of New Zealand unfolds before your eyes. Witness a live sheep-shearing demonstration and marvel at the agility of expert farm dogs as they skillfully herd sheep. Here, you have the chance to interact closely with a variety of farm animals, feeding and photographing Romney sheep, cattle, deer, llamas, ostriches, pigs, and alpacas. Explore the Farmyard Nursery, filled with adorable baby animals, and learn about sustainable farming practices while sampling fresh kiwifruit juice and local honey.

Next, ascend Mount Ngongotaha via the Skyline Rotorua Gondola, which lifts you to 487 meters above sea level. This scenic ride offers expansive views of Lake Rotorua, the city, and its steamy geothermal landscapes. Once at the top, thrill-seekers can take on the Luge, navigating through lush Redwood forests on a variety of tracks tailored to different skill levels.

Conclude your visit with a meal at the Stratosphere Restaurant, where the floor-to-ceiling windows provide a dramatic backdrop of panoramic vistas that enhance your dining experience. This well-rounded tour not only promises scenic beauty and engaging activities but also deepens your appreciation for New Zealand's natural and cultural treasures.
