Itinerario
Ritiriamo i viaggiatori dalla maggior parte delle località nel CBD di Auckland. Se il punto di ritiro non è disponibile nell'elenco, non esitare a contattarci e faremo del nostro meglio per soddisfare la tua richiesta.
Le Bombay Hills sono una catena di colline a sud di Auckland, in Nuova Zelanda. Sebbene siano solo una piccola e apparentemente insignificante catena di colline, si trovano al confine meridionale della regione di Auckland e fungono da spartiacque tra Auckland e la regione di Waikato. prende il nome direttamente dalla nave Bombay, la nave stessa prende il nome dalla città indiana di Bombay (ora Mumbai). Bombay Mezzi: una razza di gatto di taglia media a pelo corto nero.
Ci fermiamo per prendere un ottimo caffè a tue spese e una pausa di conforto prima di continuare il nostro viaggio nella regione di Waikato.
Attraverseremo anche la città unica di Tirau (la capitale mondiale della scultura in ferro ondulato) nota per i suoi negozi di antiquariato e gli edifici in ferro ondulato a forma di animale.
Sii testimone dei feroci guerrieri che navigano sulla canoa da guerra lungo le tranquille acque del fiume Wai-o-Whiro e immergiti in ricche esibizioni culturali come Wero, Pōwhiri (tradizionale benvenuto Māori), Waiata (canzone), Mōteatea (canto tradizionale), Poi, Haka e molto altro. La straordinaria esibizione culturale ti insegnerà le antiche arti dell'intaglio e del ta moka (arte del tatuaggio), mentre le esposizioni di armi e combattimenti ti faranno capire perché i Māori sono considerati guerrieri così temibili. Rimarrai stupito dal livello di emozione che una vista così semplice può causare: è davvero incredibile e da brivido! Buffet, il delizioso cibo tradizionale hangi con sapori distintivi e la preparazione unica del popolo Māori cucinato in un forno di terra, un buco di 1-2 m nel terreno, i cestini di kai (cibo) sono posizionati su pietre calde sul fondo di una fossa hāngī. Scopri un luogo sacro e spirituale che ti offre un'autentica esperienza culturale indigena senza eguali.
La nostra seconda destinazione è Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, una delle aree geotermiche più colorate e diversificate della Nuova Zelanda. Migliaia di anni di storia e "Uno dei 20 luoghi più surreali al mondo". Questo paesaggio mozzafiato è immerso in un ambiente naturale di cespugli attraverso cui le passeggiate autoguidate durano tra i 45 e i 90 minuti. Una passeggiata in questo ambiente surreale e lunare offre la possibilità di assistere ad alcune delle meraviglie vulcaniche e una vasta gamma di incredibili opportunità fotografiche in caratteristiche uniche tra cui la famosa Champagne Pool, sorgenti calde e fredde colorate naturalmente, il bagno del diavolo, il fango gorgogliante, il terreno fumante, ampie viste, enormi crateri vulcanici e formazioni di terrazze di sinterizzazione. Con un'esperienza colorata portiamo i nostri ricordi fino ad Auckland.
Dopo un'esperienza esaltante e piena di divertimento a Rotorua, è giunto il momento di tornare ad Auckland per concludere la serata e scendere al tuo hotel ad Auckland. Possiamo anche lasciarti al tuo alloggio a Rotorua se soggiorni nella regione.

This is our first time engaging ExperienceKart for a guided tour to Mitai Village and Waiotapu Thermal and we had nothing but a blast! We were greeted by our super friendly tour guide, Mr Karthik at the meeting point and he put us all at ease from the get go. He was such a gem, providing us with nuggets of information all through our drive from Auckland hotel to Rotorua and his enthusiasm kept us all engaged on the tour. The tour van was super comfortable and came with foldable tables for us to eat our snacks and breakfast in the van. We highly recommend Mr Karthik and his company for anyone interested in this tour and we will definitely come back for more!

Kia Ora. Outstanding! Karthik was a wonderful host and tour guide. So kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience, it was the highlight of our NZ trip. Will definitely be back and looking for Karthik to show us more. We were a bit hesitant to go on a tour, but it was so worth it, Karthik educated us so well, a 5 star review doesn't do him justice, should be 10! Also, to be noted, we felt really comfortable and safe travelling with him, what a great driver! (And I am a renowned terrible passenger!!) Thanks so much Karthik, well be back! Shane & Alana from Aus.

The Māori experience was educational, fun and interactive. I’m a First Nation Ojibwe woman from Ontario Canada and there are similarities in our cultures and beliefs. The feast of traditional Māori food was delicious. The interesting features like the champagne pool, craters and blowholes and rock formations in the geothermal area was something I’d never experienced. Karthik has a wealth of knowledge that he gladly shares with the group. Karthik’s driving skills focused on safety for us all.
Kia Ora Larry, Thank you for such a meaningful and heartfelt review, it truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad the Māori cultural experience resonated with you, and how special to hear you could connect similarities with your own First Nations heritage. It’s those shared stories and values that make these moments even more powerful. We’re delighted you enjoyed the geothermal landscapes as well, they really are unlike anywhere else in the world. And we couldn’t agree more about Karthik, his passion for sharing knowledge and ensuring a safe, comfortable journey is something we’re very proud of. Thank you for choosing to travel with us and for sharing your experience so beautifully, it was a privilege to be part of your journey. Ngā mihi nui, The ExperienceKart Team
EVERYTHING about this tour was 10/10. I was very moved with the Mitai Maori Village demonstrations/performances and the lunch was better than i expected! I was hesitant to sign up for the Wai-o-tupa geothermal tour but my husband and I are SO GLAD we did it! We didn’t have much time at the Agrodome sheep farm but it was still very interesting. Our guide, Karthik, was very professional & friendly! His vehicle was clean & comfortable for the long ride (equipped with wifi) and he shared a wealth of knowledge about NZ. He takes great photos too!
Kia Ora Sandra, Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review, it truly means the world to us! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that every part of your day was a 10/10 experience.

Our trip to the Mitai Māori Village and Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland was perfect. The cultural insights at the village were captivating, and the geothermal activity with its colourful pools and surreal, lunar-like environment was absolutely intriguing.

Highly recommend you request Karthik as your tour guide. He provided excellent information during the trip that made the 3 ride both enjoyable and educational. The Māori performance was quite entertaining as the performers and hosts gave an authentic show. And, the FOOD! Served buffet style, was quite plentiful and tasty. The trip to the Waitipi geothermal park was very fascinating. I just wish the photos could provide the true “aromas” we experienced! LOL. Even though the ride out and back was three hours each way, it was well worth it! Overall, I highly recommend this tour and Karthik as your guide.
Kia Ora Robert, Thank you so much for this fantastic and lovely 5-star review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the experience and your comment about wishing photos could capture the “aromas” of the geothermal park made us smile! 😄 Karthik will be delighted to know that his insights helped make the three-hour journey each way both educational and enjoyable. We’re so glad the Māori performance felt authentic and entertaining, and that the buffet hit the spot; the food is always a highlight! And yes, Wai-O-Tapu’s dramatic colours and bubbling landscapes (and unmistakable scent!) certainly make for a memorable visit. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation and are so pleased you felt the full-day journey was well worth it. We’d love to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures across Aotearoa!
