Highlights

We have combined 3 of New Zealand's unique experiences in this tour around the Waikato: Zealong Tea Estate, Waitomo Glowworm Caves and Otorohanga Kiwi Sanctuary.


The tour starts by picking you up from your centrally located Auckland hotel. The first stop is the Zealong Estate, where you will have the opportunity to explore New Zealand's only commercial tea estate selling organic tea. Learn all about the history and making of the tea and, of course, try it! You will also walk along the trail and see unique sculptures and scenery.


The next stop is Waitomo Caves, where your guide will take you on a one-hour group tour teaching you about these creatures and enjoy a magical boat ride through the caves. Followed by a lunch at the iconic open-air restaurant


Finally, the last stop is at New Zealand's largest free-flight dome aviary. Here you can get up close to New Zealand Native birds and reptiles at Otorohanga Kiwi House before driving back to Auckland for drop-off.
