Experience the unique and special natural beauty of Rotorua, the geothermal hot spot of New Zealand, just 1 hour's drive from Tauranga.
Learn about the geothermal features and its use by the Maori people, the first to settle in New Zealand over 800 years ago.
Entry is not included to the private geothermal reserves, but we do see boiling mud pools, crystal clear bubbling hot springs and volcanic lakes.
Relax at the foot bathing pools in Kuirau Park, (towels provided) after a short walk to see the bubbling mud and steaming lakes.
Whakarewarewa Village is our stop for a snack lunch, here you can take a peek at the village (entry not incl.) before our final stop, the Redwoods Forrest.
Here we take a short, guided tour through a purpose-built Glow Worm Cave, then a walk among the treetops on a network of easy-to-use rope swing bridges, with access by a gentle spiral ramp, no steps are needed.
The tour start time will be confirmed when your booking is accepted by us.

Cần Quan Tâm
Kuirau Park
This area of Rotorua is literally a hot bed of geothermal activity, with steaming lakes and bubbling mud pools. A visit to the foot bathing area lets you enjoy the warm waters that naturally occur throughout the region. Take a walk through the park to see the steaming lakes and the location of the last eruption here on 2001.
Sulphur Point
We make a stop here on the edge of Lake Rotorua to see the effect the geothermal activity has on the lake, right in the heart of Rotorua. A popular spot for many of the native birds that also enjoy the warm waters created by the outflows from the nearby geysers and hot water springs.

2.00It was very rushed. We drove to the Maori Village, but didi not go into it, just visited the gift shop and had a terrible pie at the cafe. No stops or pauses along the way to enable scenic photos. We also visited some Rotorua hot springs and saw some mud pools which was nice, but also very rushed. We then went to the redwood forest and glow worm cave, which was the best part of the trip. Lastly, we visited a kiwi fruit farm, which was also good. We were back on the bus quickly and racing back to Tauranga where we arrived half an hour early, so our driver drove around the block to kill some time - it would have been better to be let off at the beach instead........ There were no opportunities to take photos of the countryside AND we had time to spare, so we could have slowed down at a few lookouts or something.....photos through the bus window at highway speeds do not work well. The commentary was not entirely appropriate to the trip as we learnt a lot about the driver and his family, schooling, retirement options and some agriculture, but not much about the history of the areas we went through. Overall, I did not enjoy the trip.
Good excursion

2.00The driver was knowledgeable but not organized. Do not sit in the back of the van, you will miss all of the information by the time you get off. Most stops were very quick and some areas seemed unnecessary. You get a quick preview of a lot of things but do not get to do anything within the areas…except the redwoods tree top adventure…which was AWESOME. It’s just 6 hours of lots of sitting on a van with a driver who is a bit like “get off my lawn” vibe. Good information, but boring.
Very enjoyable tour to Rotorua from the cruise pier in Tauranga

5.00Great tour! Wide variety of activities ranging from soaking our feet in a hot pool to traversing a lot of swinging bridges in a redwood forest to visiting a kiwi orchard to seeing some really cool boiling mud pools and more. Lunch was pretty good as well, though I enjoyed my beef pie while my husband wasn’t so keen on his chicken pie. We also appreciated the small group - there were only 16 of us. The van was nice and the driver/guide worked real hard to make sure we all had a great day.
It was a very informative...

5.00It was a very informative tour around Rotorua lead by a gentleman named Ritchie who had a great knowledge of the area and also spoke of other matters about New Zealand that was very informative. The tour was not rushed with plenty of time to observe the various areas visited
