On this comfortable private day tour from Auckland, explore the geothermal wonderlands of Rotorua in one day. Experience a personal encounter with our people, culture, and place at Te Puia.

Experience a traditional Hangi buffet lunch and traditional Māori concert combined to experience a land where myth and legend come to life, where the earth boils, and mud heals. Soak in hot steam, marvel at boiling mud pools at one of New Zealand’s most impressive geothermal wonderlands, Hell’s Gate mud spa.

Explore the unique Whakarewarewa geothermal valley, home to the world famous Pōhutu Geyser, which erupts up to twenty times a day, and up to thirty metres high into the air. This experience includes an extended tour of Te Puia, an interactive weaving experience, plus a traditional Māori Hangi buffet lunch infused with indigenous flavours and a Māori concert.
