Waitomo Glow Worm Caves & Te Puia - Rotorua's Geothermal Valley
Experience two iconic destinations in one unforgettable day with a full-day trip! Your adventure begins with pick-up from the 4 hotels listed in Auckland CBD, followed by a scenic 2.5-hour drive south through the Waikato region to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Upon arrival, enjoy a snack or warm drink at the café before your guide takes you on a tour of the Waitomo Grotto. As you walk through the cave, marvel at the natural light display created by the unique glowworms of New Zealand. Learn about the cave’s history and significance as you glide through the Waitomo River on a flat-bottom boat, getting an up-close view of the glowing creatures. Next, hop back into our luxurious vehicle for the two-hour drive to Rotorua. At Te Puia, experience New Zealand’s geothermal wonders, Māori culture, and native wildlife. Watch the Pohutu Geyser erupt— the largest in the Southern Hemisphere— and explore boiling mud pools, the National Carving and Weaving Institute, and a Māori village.
