Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Coromandel Forest Park, Coromandel New Zealand
After breakfast, we kick off the tour in New Zealand's largest city, Auckland. Have you noticed that it's pretty hilly? Those arenโt just hills, they are actually 48 volcanic cones! Before we leave town we will walk up one of the most famous ones โ Maungawhau, also known as Mount Eden โ for 360 degree views of both city and sea.
The Coromandel Peninsula is a paradise of beautiful beaches and misty rainforests. The drive here is epic โ the road twists and turns dramatically round the coastline and the ocean gets clearer and more pristine before your eyes. Cameras ready โ the views are magnificent!
The Coromandel is home to the famous Hot Water Beach โ thousands visit each year to dig their own personal hot tub here. If the tide times allow, weโll definitely grab our buckets and spades and get busy!
We arrive in Whitianga with plenty of time for your guide to show you around. Sample the sandy beaches, take a surf lesson with the locals, or simply enjoy the vibes.
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: Rotorua, Rotorua, Rotorua District, Bay of Plenty Region, North Island
This morning walk along the cliffs and down to Cathedral Cove (which you might recognise from the Chronicles of Narnia). With perfect beaches and massive rock arches and columns, itโs one of the most popular spots in the Coromandel.
Alternatively, take an optional guided Cathedral Cove kayak trip and check out this stunning coastline from a different angle, accompanied by a local dolphin or two if youโre lucky!
Later this afternoon we head towards Rotorua; en route, weโll visit Matamata โ best known for being the home of Hobbiton.
For Lord of the Rings fans, a visit to Hobbiton Movie Set is an absolute must-do. On a fully guided tour of the 12 acre Middle-earth set you will see Hobbit Holes, the Mill, and even enjoy a drink at the Green Dragon Inn!
If hobbits arenโt your thing there are plenty of scenic short walks to enjoy Matamataโs lush green rolling hills.
While the majority of the North Island is volcanic in some way, Rotorua is exceptional for its geothermal activity. With neon blue and red lakes, steaming rivers, active volcanoes and geysers galore, there are more unique natural wonders to be found in Rotorua than many other places in the world.
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: Lake Rotorua, Rotorua New Zealand
Have you been caving in a place with twinkling glow worms on the ceiling? Nowโs your chance!
Daredevils can abseil 100 metres into the caverns on an epic 4-hour caving adventure. Or float along on an underground river on an optional Cave Tubing trip as the glow worms light your way. There are also excellent guided walking tours of the caves available if heights or wet feet arenโt your thing.
Later this afternoon we head to Rotorua (or Rotovegas as it is locally known).
While the majority of the North Island is volcanic in some way, Rotorua is exceptional for its geothermal activity. With neon blue and red lakes, steaming rivers, active volcanoes and geysers galore, there are more unique natural wonders to be found in Rotorua than many other places in the world.
Here you will visit Te Puia - a well-known Maori culture centre. At Te Puia you can explore Whakarewarewa geothermal valley, visit New Zealandโs native kiwi birds, and learn about Maori history & culture.
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: Kohutapu Lodge & Tribal Tours, 3836 Galatea Road, Galatea 3079, New Zealand
hereโs heaps of time to get amongst Rotoruaโs diverse attractions while you're here.
Lord of the Rings fans, channel your inner hobbit with an optional visit to picturesque Hobbiton โ have a ginger beer at the Green Dragon pub for us!
If adrenalinโs your thing, the highest commercial waterfall drop in the world, on the Kaituna River, is begging to be conquered on an exhilarating rafting trip.
Or let your guide coax you into thundering down grassy hills in a giant air-cushioned inflatable ball (or OGO) โ you won't regret it!
Later this afternoon we head to Kohutapu Lodge in Murupara - a living Mฤori village - where you will be taken on a tribal tour by a village elder.
Here youโll also have a chance to learn the world-famous haka dance, and weave your own dinner plate using flax (a type of plant).
Tonightโs dinner is a traditional hฤngi meal. Cooked in an underground earth oven you can expect tender meat and delicious vegetables infused with a smoky, earthy fragrance โ it will fill your puku (belly) right up!
The best part about spending the evening at Kohutapu Lodge? The majority of proceeds from this activity go back to the local community.
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: Lake Taupo, Taupo Marina New Zealand
Itโs only a short drive to our next destination, Taupล, and thereโs plenty to discover along the way. From mesmerising mud pools to the thundering rapids of the Huka Falls and Aratiatia Dam, your trusty Haka Guide will make sure you donโt miss a thing.
Taupล is a beautiful lakeside town with a stunning mountain backdrop. Lake Taupล is New Zealandโs largest lake โ believe it or not, itโs roughly the same size as Singapore!
This place is all about the thrills and spills, and there are plenty of options in store this afternoon. Get your hair wet with a water touch bungy jump, take an unforgettable skydive or a sunset lake cruise for amazing lake and mountain views.
Psst โ bring your swimwear today, one of our favourite secret stops is on the cards!
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: Lake Taupo, Taupo Marina New Zealand
A full day in Taupล... are you in the mood for peaceful lakeside tranquillity or unlimited adrenalin and adventure? Either way, Taupลโs got you covered. For many, the ultimate adventure on offer here is the hiking (or tramping, as we Kiwis know it). The
Tongariro Crossing is among the top 10 full-day walks in the world. This 19.4-kilometre mountain trek boasts emerald green lakes, venting steam, lava flows and craters. Youโll come back grinning from ear to ear before falling into bed and sleeping like a baby.
If youโd prefer to relax, jump on a boat for a sailing trip to view Mฤori rock carvings. Or head to Spa Park and soak until your fingers are wrinkly. However you choose to spend today we guarantee you wonโt forget it.
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: YHA Wellington Backpacker Hostel, 292 Wakefield Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Itโs a big drive from Taupล to Wellington, but thereโs some unmissable scenery on offer. Lord of the Rings junkies, youโre in for a treat!
Our journey takes us through Tongariro National Park via the Rangipo Desert (bet you didnโt know New Zealand had one of those!). Some of your favourite Lord of the Rings battle scenes were filmed right here.
The Desert Road boasts incredible views of three active volcanic peaks โ Mount Tongariro, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Ruapehu. You may know Mount Ngauruhoe as Mount Doom, so be sure to snap a Mordor selfie!
We pass through two of the North Islandโs quirkier towns โ as ever, your Haka Guide has a couple of surprises up their sleeve...
We pull into Wellington in the afternoon, with just enough time for film buffs make a trip to Weta Workshop, where the special effects of Lord of the Rings and Avatar were produced.
New Zealandโs capital is famous for its bars and eateries, and is a paradise for lovers of craft beer โ youโll be spoiled for choice tonight!
Duration: 1 day
Stop At: YHA Wellington Backpacker Hostel, 292 Wakefield Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
