Reisroute
Binnen TE Puia vindt u de nationale scholen voor houtsnijwerk, weven, steen en beenhouwwerk. Ze hebben deze schatten al 170 jaar met manuhiri (bezoekers) gedeeld en vol trots gaan ze door met deze erfenis
We hebben beperkte tijd in Rotorua, dus we kijken snel naar Lake Rotorua op weg naar Rotorua of weg uit Rotorua
Te Puia waar je zult lunchen en tijd hebt om Te Puia te verkennen - totale tijd in Rotorua ongeveer 1,5 uur. Te Puia beslaat 70 hectare in de historische Te Whakarewarewa-vallei, aan de rand van Rotorua. Het is de thuisbasis van de Pohutu-geiser, modderpoelen, warmwaterbronnen, silica-formaties, de Kiwi-vogel en de nationale scholen voor houtsnijwerk, weven, steen- en beensnijwerk
We reizen naar Waitomo Caves, wereldberoemd en een magneet voor zowel lokale als buitenlandse bezoekers. De Waitomo Glowworm Caves staan hoog op de vakantie-wensenlijst van Nieuw-Zeeland. De gloeiworm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is uniek voor Nieuw-Zeeland. Duizenden van deze kleine wezens stralen hun onmiskenbare luminescerende licht uit, terwijl deskundige gidsen informatief commentaar geven op de historische en geologische betekenis van de grotten. Je loopt de grotten in en vaart uit in een kleine boot.

Michelle and Chris were excellent, knowledgeable, and great conversationalists. The tour was perfect for me as a solo traveler as they didn’t require a minimum number of bookings. Morning of, I needed a little help finding the meeting point, which could have been described better, BUT they were available to contact by phone and I met up with them with no delay! Long long day but I didn’t feel cooped up in the transport vehicle. Everything was paced nicely and the locations and actual tours were spectacular! Thanks FlexiTours!
Hi Caitlin, Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review. The feedback is highly valued and helps us improve our services and operations even more. We are thrilled you had a great day enjoying our comfortable vehicles and our awesome guides.
Was pretty satisfied with the one day join tour on Jan 5th , 2026. Zed, the guide/driver shared a lot about local knowledge. Through his introduction and explanation, I gained more understanding about New Zealand since it was my first visit to NZ. I was especially impressed by the Waitomo Cave. Thought spending quite some time on board, I enjoyed the ride and the landscape , very healing and comforting!
A great day exploring. Bunty our tour guide shared his in-depth knowledge & information generously as an Auckland local. Bunty created an inclusive environment that allowed the group from all walks of life and 3 different countries to share the journey, enjoy each other’s company and banter. Impeccable timing and safe travelling ensured we made every attraction on time; even with a couple of bonus highlights. Thanks again Bunty; we will see you again!
Long day but enough stops to get you through. Very worth it. Waitomo Caves were amazing. Not a problem if you don’t like closed in feeling. Rotorua very informative and geysers also amazing.
Waitomo caves is an amazing experience. Rotorua (Te Puia) was somewhat underwhelming, perhaps since I’ve been to Yellowstone many times. Daryll was a fantastic guide though and kept this tour interesting, he’s quite a history expert. He gave us lots of interesting information during the tour.
We had a great time with Bunty. We saw the two sites that I was most excited about outside of Auckland without having to drive ourselves. We learned great facts about New Zealand and the history of the Māori people.
This was a very well guided tour with Louise as the driver. The Māori guides at both sites were both entertaining and educational as they shared their history and culture. Plenty of rest stops incorporated into the day to make it a comfortable journey
So fun and culturally enriching to learn about the culture of New Zealand? See Real Kiwi birds, and see the glow worms! Downfall is not in your guides control but not being able to video glowworms or kiwi was a bummer! Peter was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Hi - If photography was allowed in the cave, there would be no glow-worms for anyone to see. The glow-worms react negatively to light and therefore anyone using a flash actively kills the glow-worms - The only was to prevent this in a cave where you are very close to the glow-worms is to forbid photography all together. Caves which allow photography have the glow-worms at a much great distance away from you.
Our guide Ellison was fantastic. He gave us so much information while on the trip. The glow worm caves were amazing but a very quick trip inside the caves. The geysers were great to see although bring some smelling salts if you have a weak stomach.The hangi was delicious by far the best food I have eaten in New Zealand. I would recommend this trip.
Thanks for your great review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your day with Edson as your guide. He's a favorite among many of our customers for his knowledge and friendly approach. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the hangi lunch so much. Many visitors tell us it's a highlight of their New Zealand culinary experience. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad you found the trip worthwhile!
Know going into this that you will be spending lots of time in a (comfortable) van. It was dark setting out but once it got light the scenery was breathtaking. The glow worms and cave were mind blowing if you are at all appreciative of the novelty of their existence and life cycle. The Māori center was impressive although rushed at points. Geysers and mud pools fascinating. Our driver/guide was Shawn who did a great job of accommodating a diverse group of passengers.
