Auckland - Waitomo Caves - Rotorua
After an early departure from Auckland you will be travelling to the amazing Waitomo Caves.
Waitomo – the name coming from the Maori words wai (water) and tomo (hole) is home to an astonishing landscape. Hidden under the green hills of Waitomo lies a labyrinth of caves, sinkholes and underground rivers. The caves were carved by underground streams pushing through soft limestone over thousands of years.
Tour the amazing limestone caverns and sail through the still waters of the sparkling Waitomo Glow Worm Grotto - with plenty of time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness - intensifying the effect of thousands of softly shining glow worms.
Later, travel on to Rotorua, the cultural centre of New Zealand.
Accommodation: Rotorua - 2 Nights
