Highlights

  • Make Travel Matter
  • The Te Po Experience at Te Puia contributes to the success of the Maori Arts & Crafts Institute, committed to preserving, encouraging, fostering and promoting Māori arts and crafts.
  • Iconic Sites
  • The Waitomo Caves are the stuff fairytales are made of. Illuminate your day cruising this limestone network, cast in the magical light of glowworms.
  • Flexible Holdays
  • We’re here to point you in the right direction when it comes to wining, dining and relaxing across Auckland, Wellington and Rotorua. Ask your Travel Director for tips.
  • Natural Wonders
  • Rotorua is hot, in more ways than one. Steaming geysers, bubbling mud pools and mineral-rich springs are the beating heart of this geothermal valley.

    Beautiful area, coach and driver good. Guides mediocre. No real forewarning or effort to find meaningful solutions to activities cancelled due to cyclone. Just. Sorry about that. Luckily fo free days the locales are so great, we found what to do. I also honk TourRadar gives mediocre service and will not recommend you
