Duration:
10:00 hours
Description
Explore glowworm-lit caves and walk high among giant redwoods in one day. Travel privately from Auckland with guided cave visits and time for lunch in Waitomo.
Leave Auckland behind for a full-day journey through the Waikato to three of the North Island’s most striking natural attractions. Travel by private mini-van from Auckland CBD as your guide shares stories about Māori history, volcanic landscapes, and the countryside along the way.
In Waitomo, explore the famous Glowworm Caves, where ancient limestone chambers lead to a silent boat ride beneath a canopy of glowing blue lights. Then continue to Ruakuri Cave for a guided walk past underground waterfalls, dramatic rock formations, and glowworms overhead. Stop for lunch in the Waitomo area at your own expense before continuing south.
In Rotorua, take in the peaceful atmosphere of the Redwoods Treewalk as you cross elevated suspension bridges among towering Californian redwoods. After time in the forest, relax on the drive back through the Waikato, finishing with drop-off in Auckland CBD.
