Waitomo Caves, Rotorua and Te Puia Small Group Tour from Auckland

About this activity

New Zealand’s most remarkable landscapes aren’t always found in plain sight.

Journey from Auckland to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, where thousands of tiny lights illuminate an underground world hidden beneath the hills of the Waikato. Then continue to Rotorua and Te Puia to experience steaming geothermal landscapes, powerful geysers, and the living Māori culture of Aotearoa. From the hidden world beneath Waitomo to the spectacular forces shaping Rotorua above ground, experience a side of New Zealand that goes far beyond the scenery.

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.

Led by our passionate tour guides, notorious for bringing your journey to life, sharing their stories and background knowledge, and run in modern minibuses packed with extras ensuring your comfort and safety.
