DAY 1
Ex Auckland
(4 hours driving)
| Head South from Auckland over the Bombay
Hills to Waitomo. Take time to tour the famous Gloworm Caves, and
then East to Rotorua. |
|
DAY 2
Rotorua
(No driving)
| After an overnight in Rotorua, spend the day visiting
Whakarewarewa Maori Arts and Crafts Centre and touring the thermal
reserve. Afterwards, take a Gondola ride to the Skyline and try
the luge or flying foxes for a bit of excitement. In the evening,
the Tamaki Tours Mauri Concert and Feast is a must. |
 |
DAY 3
Mountains to Beach
(4 hours drive)
| From Rotorua, go to Tauranga and over to Mt Mauganui for lunch
and a swim. The Mount is one of New Zealand's favourite holiday
spots. The view from the top of the mountain is spectacular, but
you may be happy to just walk around it. From there, North to
Whangamata and Pauanui. If the tide allows, go and dig yourself a
nice warm spa on Hot Water Beach to ease your weary, happy bones. |
