An exhilarating
ride south along the banks of the mighty Waikato River and through New
Zealand’s largest dairy and sheep farming province.
Passing through
many small settlements along our way as we head for the King Country
and the stunning Waitomo Caves. It is here with the help of a guide that
you get to experience this world famous cave formation. Marvel at the
formations created by Mother Nature, drift silently in a boat and
experience the Glow-worm cavern as it is lit up by thousands of tiny
glow worm lights.
We now head East
through the rugged inland King Country around beautiful Lake Whakamaru
through the Whakarewarewa Forest Park and into Rotorua.
Tonight you will have the opportunity to relax in one of the many spa pools that surround this wonderful region.
Sightseeing is
the order of the day. This morning we visit Te Puia Geothermal
Reserve and Maori Arts and Craft Institute, where you can take a fully
guided tour through this geothermal wonderland with the Pohutu Geyser
and experience first hand New Zealand’s Maori Culture.
It is now time
for you to enjoy some lunch overlooking
Lake Rotorua. Having enjoyed your lunch we now take a ride around this
magnificent lake before our journey home through the pasturelands of
Matamata and the Hauraki Plains.
Arriving back in
Auckland it is now time to gather your gear together and reflect on the
wonderful time that has been had by all. Now we must say our goodbyes
and start planning your next tour with Harley Tours New Zealand. |
