- Lake Tarawera - Following a brief tour of Mount Maunganui, the journey continues through the renowned kiwifruit region and the breathtaking Lakes District, showcasing the Blue Lake, Lake Rotoiti, and the iconic Lake Tarawera, overshadowed by the active Mount Tarawera volcano. Visitors will discover ancient Maori rock art and delve into the history of the world-renowned Pink and White Terraces and the Tarawera Volcanic eruption. Don’t forget your camera, as this location is truly spectacular.
- Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua - The next stop is the beautiful Secret Spot Hot Tubs, perfect for a leisurely lunch break. Enjoy a meal and a drink while soaking your feet, exploring the picturesque grounds, or booking a private Hot Tub experience (additional charge).
- Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest - To complete a relaxing day in the hinterland, the journey leads to the renowned Redwoods Forest. Enjoy the fresh, clean air and watch for native birds while exploring the numerous ground pathways, or opt to traverse the swing bridges and walkways high in the forest on the famous Treetop Walk (highly recommended). This is an exceptional activity and a regional favorite. It’s a perfect way to conclude a day immersed in nature!
- Okere Falls - On the return trip, there’s a chance to view the tallest commercially rafted waterfall in the world! Often, rafters and kayakers can be seen navigating the falls, but even without them, it’s a breathtaking sight. Depending on time and fitness, there are various walking options: 1 minute (top of the falls), 12 minutes (best viewing area), and 15 minutes (including Hinemoa’s steps to the base of the falls). This is yet another highlight of this remarkable day trip.
