Itinerário
Seu passeio começa na maior cidade da Nova Zelândia. Ao sairmos da cidade, seu guia não só definirá o cenário para sua aventura hoje, mas também indicará e guiará você por alguns dos principais destaques da cidade.
Saindo de Auckland, viajamos para o sul pela deslumbrante paisagem rural de Waikato, a área agrícola mais extensa do mundo, encontrando belas paisagens, rios caudalosos, ótimas oportunidades para fotos, montanhas impressionantes e vários animais de fazenda ao longo do caminho. Durante nossa aventura no Waikato também faremos uma parada para um rápido coffee break em um local especial.
Continuando nossa jornada para Rotorua, passamos por Tirau, famosamente apelidada de 'Capital Mundial do Ferro Corrugado' por causa das muitas esculturas e edifícios exclusivos de ferro corrugado. Esta cidade nunca deixa de dar uma olhada e rir e nossos guias apontarão todos os principais destaques no caminho.
Chegando ao nosso destino especial, você vai experimentar Wai-O-Tapu Wonderland geotérmico. Considerado um dos lugares mais surrealistas da Terra, aqui você verá o famoso Lago de Champagne, Banho do Diabo, piscinas de barro locais, crateras geotérmicas e outras maravilhas geotérmicas. As cores e atividades vão tirar o fôlego.
Nós fazemos o nosso caminho para o Secret Spot para que você possa desfrutar do almoço e recarregar para sua atividade da tarde.
Após uma pausa para o almoço, você descobrirá a rica história e tradições da cultura maori da Nova Zelândia no Te Puia em um tour guiado de 90 minutos. Veja artesãos hábeis trazerem técnicas antigas à vida nas escolas de escultura e tecelagem, explore o Centro de Conservação de Kiwi e assista ao espetacular geyser Pōhutu que se erupta até 30 metros de altura na geotérmica
Para terminar a nossa experiência de Rotorua, fazemos um passeio guiado visitando os locais mais famosos da cidade, incluindo: Lago Rotorua, Museu Rotorua, Jardins do Governo, Whangapipiro (Rachel Spring) e os banhos azuis.
Infelizmente, devemos começar a seguir para o norte novamente, mas seu dia não acabou com uma viagem de volta totalmente guiada a Auckland com paradas secretas ao longo do caminho.

Really nice experience to do for those who want to discover a little bit of New Zealand with little time available. Trent, the guide was immediately very kind and helpful (top!). Snacks and water on board; explanations about the various spots along the way. Comfortable shuttle. The burger was well cooked and tasty. Amazing landscape! All good. A small suggestion: I would have been willing to pay extra for a small taste of Maori traditional cuisine for lunch. :-)
Trent will love hearing this! He's always keen to make sure guests feel looked after on the Rotorua Highlights Tour, and we love your idea about adding a taste of Maori cuisine to lunch - we'll pass that on. Thanks for the great feedback, and we hope to see you back in New Zealand again :)
Tour guide exceptional - knowledgeable, friendly, engaged with all guests on the tour. He made the tour memorable and follow up with links to where to eat, shop and see more sights. Would recommend this tour company
My wife and I booked with the Cheeky Kiwi operator. They provide the coach, book the tickets at the sites and the driver provides the commentary to and from the sites. So, the review is half about the operator and half about the actual sites. Our driver was guy called Grant. Any driver is in an unenviable position. He needs to keep the customers amused for three or four hours each way, and also know when to shut up and give them a bit of peace and quiet. We got on the coach at 5:45am, and I would have been happier if he just said "folks, I'm going to collect all of us from the various hotels; we'll head off and stop after an hour at a _really_ good coffee place; and after that I'll start telling you about what you're going to see today". However, he felt obliged to talk almost without stop all the way. I suppose it doesn't matter who the operator is - they all have the same balancing act to navigate. LUCKILY, Grant knew about geothermal activities, calderas, the relative size of Rotarua and Lake Taupo etc, and was very interesting to listen to. So, a thumbs up to him. Two sites on this trip. The first was the Rotarua geothermal are withmud-pool, lakes, steam emerging from the ground and streams etc. This site had everything except geysers. There are several walks, and even this 71-year old could manage them. For the geysers, we went to the second site. The geysers at Te Puia were MOST impressive. Lots of steam under pressure. I could have stood and watched them all day. The site also has a Maori cultural centre. That sounded terribly worthy and boring, but it wasn’t. We got to see a couple of kiwi birds - part of a breeding program - and we also got to see Maori youth being trained in the old skills of wood-carving, and similar. Not as entrancing as the geysers, but interesting in their own right. Overall, this Cheeky Kiwi Rotarua excursion was the highlight of our visit to NZ, and I really recommend you go and see the place. Five stars from us.
Liam was the best tour guide for this trip. Highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in Maori culture
Kia ora! Great to hear you had such a good day out! Liam will be pleased to know his guiding helped make the experience so memorable.

An awesome experience! A long day but so worth it! More than a “geothermal experience.” Depth of culture. And Jeoffrey was great. Informative. It was great to arrive at the first stop before the rest of the buses!
Kia ora! Sounds like a great day all round! You’ve captured Rotorua perfectly—it’s so much more than just geothermal sights, and that cultural depth really adds to the experience. Getting in ahead of the crowds is always a bonus too! Jeoffrey will be pleased to know his insights helped make the day even more memorable. We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future. Until then, safe travels and thanks again for choosing Cheeky Kiwi! Ngā mihi, Cheeky Kiwi Travel 🚌🥝
Seeing the Geyser, Mud pools and Champagne pool were just some of the awesome and memeroble highlights of my tour. Special mention must go out to our Cheeky Kiwi tour guide and driver, Jeoff whose in-depth knowledge of Auckland and our destinations, interspersed with his subtle humour really helped to relax and amalgamate the tour group. Overall the combination of all the aforementioned made for a truly unforgetable experience.
Kia ora! So glad to hear your day in Rotorua left such a memorable impression! Jeoff will love the shoutout—his mix of knowledge and subtle humour really does help make the day smooth and enjoyable. The Geyser, mud pools, and Champagne Pool are always a hit, and it sounds like you soaked it all in. Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’d love to welcome you back for another round of Kiwi adventures. Ngā mihi, Cheeky Kiwi Travel 🚌🥝
We had Geoff as our driver/guide. Highly organized and informative - we had several in our van with different itineraries and he managed schedule artfully. Very comfortable van and enjoyed others that we met in our group. We will definitely use this tour company again
Kia ora! It’s fantastic to hear you had such a smooth day with Jeoff at the helm. Managing different itineraries in one van isn’t always easy, but it sounds like he made it feel effortless. We’re glad the van was comfortable and that the mix of people added to the experience. It’s great to know you’d choose to travel with us again – that really makes our day! We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future. Until then, safe travels and thanks again for choosing Cheeky Kiwi! Ngā mihi, Cheeky Kiwi Travel 🚌🥝
This tour was great! John was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and with many funny stories! The activities were enjoyable and I felt like I also learned a lot. I really enjoyed the day! I especially enjoyed seeing the live kiwis at Te Puia’s kiwi conservation center.
Kia ora Sounds like one of those days that hits the sweet spot between fun and learning. John has a great way of bringing Rotorua to life, and it’s awesome to hear his stories and knowledge added so much to your day. Te Puia’s kiwi conservation centre is a real highlight for a lot of guests too. Seeing our national icon up close tends to stick with you. We’re glad you enjoyed the mix of activities and came away feeling like you’d genuinely learned something along the way. That balance is exactly what we aim for on this tour. We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future. Until then, safe travels and thanks again for choosing Cheeky Kiwi! Ngā mihi, Cheeky Kiwi Travel 🚌🥝
