Tour Overview

Embark on a journey through the geothermal wonders and natural beauty of New Zealand's North Island with a comprehensive tour of Rotorua and Taupo. Starting from Auckland, this small group tour promises a personal and detailed exploration of some of the most dynamic landscapes the island has to offer.

Our first major stop is Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, where the earth bursts with colors and natural artistry. Here, you can marvel at the precision of the Lady Knox Geyser, an astonishing natural feature that erupts daily, showcasing the raw power of nature. Witness the vividly colored hot springs and expansive mud pools that make Waiotapu a unique geological spectacle.

Next, we head to the breathtaking Huka Falls, where you can feel the mist on your face and hear the roar of 220,000 liters of water per second plunging over an 11-meter high waterfall. This natural hydro power display is both awe-inspiring and a testament to the untamed beauty of the region.

A leisurely lunch in Taupo City offers a moment of relaxation. Afterwards, enjoy a stroll by Lake Taupo, the largest freshwater lake in Australasia, providing serene views and a tranquil atmosphere to digest the morning’s adventures.

The tour continues to the Redwoods & Whakarewarewa Forest in Rotorua. Known for its towering redwoods and diverse ecosystem, this forest not only offers peace and tranquility but also serves as a gateway to understanding the ecological and cultural significance of the area.

As the day winds down, take in the sights of Rotorua Town, including the renowned Government Gardens and Lake Rotorua, before we journey back to Auckland. This tour not only highlights the natural and cultural landmarks of Taupo and Rotorua but also ensures a comfortable and enlightening experience for all guests.
