  • Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
    Prepare for a captivating journey to Wai O Tapu Thermal Wonderland, one of the world's most surreal and active geothermal parks, located just 20 minutes from Rotorua CBD. You will be guided through Wai O Tapu for approximately 45-60 minutes to explore its vibrant and unique landscape before we depart for the majestic Lady Knox Geyser.
  • Lady Knox Geyser
    Our journey continues to the Lady Knox Geyser, a true marvel that erupts just once a day, precisely at 10:15 AM. Join us to uncover the fascinating story behind her remarkable punctuality!
  • Waimangu Volcanic Valley
    Next, we journey to the Jurassic Waimangu Valley, the world's youngest geothermal eco-system. Here, you'll witness firsthand the raw power and breathtaking beauty of Mother Nature, alongside the dramatic aftermath of the 1886 volcanic eruption of Mt. Tarawera. We'll spend approximately 90 minutes at Waimangu, which includes a relaxing 30-minute lunch break at the scenic Waimangu Café. Please note: Lunch is not included in price
  • Te Puia
    Finally, join our local guide for a captivating journey to Te Puia, New Zealand's premier Māori arts and crafts institute. Here, you'll gain insight into the rich traditions of Māori carving, weaving, and casting. At the heart of Te Puia lies Pōhutu Geyser, the largest active geyser in the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike Lady Knox, which erupts once daily, Pōhutu can erupt up to 20 times a day, roughly every 90 minutes, reaching impressive heights of up to 30 meters (100 feet). Te Puia is also a dedicated conservation site, home to three native kiwi birds bred and raised within its care. We hope that by the end of your day, you'll have witnessed not one, but two magnificent geysers, and satisfied your curiosity for New Zealand's iconic kiwi birds! We'll spend approximately 60-90 minutes at Te Puia.
  • Rotorua
    As our remarkable day concludes, prepare for a relaxing and picturesque scenic drive, showcasing the natural beauty and local charm of Rotorua. We'll journey along routes that unveil stunning vistas, allowing you to soak in the serene atmosphere and capture some final, memorable photographs. Our drive will wind through areas highlighting: Rotorua's shimmering lakes: Glimpse the tranquil waters of Lake Rotorua itself, perhaps catching reflections of the sky and surrounding hills. You might also get a peek at some of the smaller, hidden lakes that dot the region, each with its own unique character. Panoramic viewpoints: We'll navigate to elevated spots that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Rotorua caldera, the city, and the distant volcanic peaks. These vantage points provide a fantastic opportunity to appreciate the geological wonders that define this region.
