Embark on a day-long exploration of Rotorua, a gem in New Zealand's North Island renowned for its rich Maori culture and spectacular geothermal activity. Starting from Auckland, our tour ensures a convenient and efficient journey, avoiding the hassle of lengthy hotel pickups across the city.
Upon reaching Rotorua, delve into the heart of Maori traditions at Te Puia. Here, you're invited to witness the skilled craftsmanship of local artisans at the national carving and weaving schools, where the intricate processes of these ancient arts come alive. The center is a vibrant hub of cultural education and preservation, offering insights into practices passed down through generations.
In addition to cultural enrichment, Te Puia is home to the pulsating spectacle of geysers and the serene ambiance of the Kiwi house. A buffet lunch amidst these settings provides a moment to relax and enjoy local flavors. For those eager to explore more independently, there’s the option to venture through the surrounding landscapes or linger longer within the park.
The tour also includes a visit to iconic Rotorua locations such as the bustling town center and the tranquil lake front. Depending on weather conditions, a stroll through the majestic Redwood forest may also be part of your journey, offering a tranquil escape into nature's embrace.
Flexible options cater to different travel plans, allowing you to return to Auckland or conclude your adventure in Rotorua. This tour requires a minimum of four participants to ensure a personalized and comprehensive experience of this unique region. Join us to discover the warmth of Rotorua’s cultural heritage and natural beauty in a day packed with exploration and learning.
