Rotorua Highlights: Wai-O-Tapu, Lunch & 5 Experience Choices

About This Experience

One day from Auckland. One must-see geothermal wonder. Five ways to spend your afternoon.

Travel from Auckland to Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and explore its surreal volcanic landscapes before enjoying an included lunch. Then choose one of five pre-arranged Rotorua experiences for your afternoon: walk among the treetops on the Redwoods Treewalk, relax at Polynesian Spa, soak at Secret Spot Hot Tubs, discover Māori culture and geothermal wonders at Te Puia, or take on the forest canopy with a zipline adventure. With the day organised for you, all you have to decide is which Rotorua experience is right for you.

While the destinations you will be visiting are spectacular, we at Cheeky Kiwi Travel believe it is our small groups, our guides, the journey and the little details that set our tours well apart.

What to Bring

• Closed walking shoes — the loop trails are boardwalk and packed gravel, with sulphur-slick patches after rain
• A rain jacket and a warm layer: the tours run in all weather, and the open sinter flats catch the wind
• Sun protection; the sinter flats are open and reflective, and New Zealand's UV is fierce in summer
• Swimwear and a towel if you choose the Polynesian Spa or Secret Spot Hot Tubs afternoon
• Closed shoes and something you can move in if you choose the Treewalk or zipline
