Overview

See three of New Zealand's most popular tourist destinations with this two-day combo pass including the beautiful Bay of Islands, the underground marvels of the Waitomo Caves and the thermal wonderland of Rotorua. Day 1: Bay of Islands Day Tour and Hole in the Rock Dolphin Cruise Departs 7:30am, returns 8:10pm Sit back and soak up New Zealand's spectacular scenery as you head north from Auckland to the Bay of Islands for a half-day dolphin cruise. After arriving in Paihia, join the crew aboard our purpose-built catamaran Dolphin Seeker for a three-hour cruise through sheltered clear waters. Throughout your cruise your skipper will keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine life, and where possible get up close to these playful creatures. Enjoy the views as you cruise out past gem-like islands and the Cape Brett Lighthouse to the majestic Hole in the Rock. If conditions permit, your skipper will navigate right through the hole. At the end of the cruise, rejoin your driver for the return journey to Auckland. Day 2: Waitomo Caves and Rotorua Experience Departs 7:30am, returns 8:10pm Experience magical glowworms and world-famous limestone formations at Waitomo Caves, as well as the rich cultural heritage and geothermal bounty of Rotorua. Travel south through the lush farmland of the Waikato and King Country regions, enjoying entertaining commentary from your driver guide. On arrival in the small town of Waitomo, take a guided tour through the famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Over 45 minutes you'll see amazing stalactites, stalagmites, huge caverns and other limestone rock formations, formed over 30 million years ago. Your tour finishes with a magical boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto – a cavern illuminated by the twinkling lights of thousands of tiny glowworms. Leaving Waitomo, enjoy a picnic-style lunch (vegetarian and other dietary options available on request) en route to Rotorua, where at the Agrodome you'll tour an organic working farm on an all-terrain vehicle, see sheep being shorn and view a live sheep dog trial. Next we make our way to Te Puia, one of New Zealand's foremost cultural venues. Experience a traditional M?ori welcome and cultural performance at the marae (meeting house), before entering the weird and wonderful landscape of the Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley for a guided tour of its bubbling mud pools and powerful geysers. The tour also includes a visit to Te Puia's woodcarving and weaving schools, where apprentices are trained in traditional skills. A delicious afternoon snack, including traditional M?ori rewana bread, can be enjoyed as your coach returns to Auckland.
