Description

Embark on an exclusive private tour that seamlessly combines two of New Zealand's most iconic attractions: the mystical Waitomo Glowworm Caves and the enchanting Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley. This one-day adventure offers a deep dive into the natural and cultural wonders of New Zealand. Begin your journey at the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, a subterranean marvel known for its unique Arachnocampa luminosa glowworms. As you descend into the caves, be mesmerized by the thousands of tiny bioluminescent creatures that cast a magical, ethereal glow across the caverns, creating a breathtaking starry sky underground. Next, travel to Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley in Rotorua, where you'll be awestruck by the region's geothermal activity. Witness the dramatic Pohutu Geyser, the largest active geyser in the Southern Hemisphere, as it erupts in a spectacular display of steam and water. Explore the bubbling mud pools and steaming vents that define this geothermal wonderland. In addition to the natural spectacles, have the chance to encounter live Kiwi birds in their natural habitat and see the remarkable craftsmanship of Māori artisans. Observe skilled carvers and weavers as they create intricate works of art, preserving traditional Māori techniques. Delve deeper into the Māori heritage with captivating Cultural Performances, where traditional storytelling, music, and dance bring the rich history and vibrant culture of the Māori people to life.
