Overview

New tour available from 1st November 2026

Experience an action-packed day in Rotorua on a full-day guided tour from Auckland, combining Māori food and culture, geothermal wonders, and adrenaline-pumping luge track action in one unforgettable day.

Travel in comfort from Auckland to Rotorua and discover Te Puia, one of New Zealand’s most iconic cultural and geothermal attractions. Explore the spectacular geothermal valley on a guided Te Rā experience, visit the famous Pōhutu Geyser, see native kiwi at the Kiwi Conservation Centre and learn about traditional Māori arts and craftsmanship at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. Enjoy a delicious hāngī-inspired buffet lunch overlooking the geothermal landscape before continuing your Rotorua adventure.

In the afternoon, head to Skyline Rotorua for breathtaking views over Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island and the surrounding region as you ride the scenic gondola to the summit of Mt Ngongotahā. Take on the world-famous Rotorua Luge as you zip down the track through the beautiful surrounding forest, and experience one of Rotorua’s most popular adventure experiences with three luge rides included in your ticket. At the end of the day, kick back and relax on your return coach trip to Auckland, arriving back in the city in the early evening.
