Trip overview
This is your chance to indulge in a unique New Zealand holiday that’s good for the soul and the skin!
Fly to Auckland and pick up your hire car at the airport, then head to Rotorua for an amazing North Island getaway. Famous for its natural beauty, in Rotorua there are opportunities to wander around the picturesque lake, try one of the many adventure activities, experience Maori cultural performances and much more.
A highlight of this trip is Hell’s Gate, where you’ll find native bush and geothermal landscapes. Discover why this land has inspired myths and legends as you walk through the clouds of geothermal steam. Once used by Maori warriors to heal their battle-scarred bodies, today visitors use the nutrient-rich waters and mud to ease inflammation and arthritis, as well as rejuvenate the skin!
