Overview
Enjoy a scenic tour from Auckland to Waitomo to Rotorua, including a Waitomo Caves tour. Leaving Auckland in the morning we travel through picturesque landscape of the Waikato and King Country regions. Your experienced local driver guide will provide entertaining commentary and point out highlights along the way including Rangiriri, where a major battle was fought between colonial forces and those loyal to the Māori King in 1863. On arrival in the small town of Waitomo, journey underground on a 45-minute guided tour through the world famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves - a series of limestone caves formed over 30 million years ago. Learn about stalagmites, stalactites and other intriguing rock formations as you walk through the caverns, concluding the tour with a boat ride through the dazzling Glowworm Grotto. Travel to Rotorua, passing through Fitzgerald Glade where trees arch over the road to form a tunnel of natural greenery. The tour concludes in Rotorua, where you can see the famous Rotorua geothermal activity, learn about Māori culture in New Zealand, view spectacular scenery and more!
