| This full day tour has it all! From the magical glowworms and world-famous limestone formations to the rich cultural heritage and geothermal bounty of Rotorua. Leaving Auckland in the morning we travel through the lush farmland of the Waikato and King Country regions. Enjoy a morning snack as you drive past Rangiriri, the location of an historic Maori Land War site. On arrival in the small town of Waikato enjoy a guided tour through the world famous Waitomo Caves with their amazing stalactites, stalagmites and other limestone formations. We finish the tour with a boat ride through the 'Glowworm Grotto' - a subterranean cavern lit up by the lights of thousands of tiny glowworms. As we make our way to Rotorua, enjoy a delicious picnic style lunch (vegetarian & other dietary options available on request). Agrodome is our first stop. On the outskirts of Rotorua, take a tour of an organic working farm in all terrain vehicles. Watch a sheep being shorn and view a sheep dog trial. Our next destination is Te Puia, one of New Zealand's foremost cultural venues. At Te Puia's marae (meeting house) enjoy a Maori cultural performance where ancient and modern stories are told through song, dance, poi and stick games. At the conclusion of the Maori cultural performance we enjoy a guided tour of the bubbling mudpools and active geysers of the Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley including the world renowned Pohutu geyser. The tour also includes a visit to Te Puia's woodcarving and weaving schools where apprentices are trained in these traditional skills by master carvers and weavers.
