Te Puia and Skyline Luge Day Tour – Auckland Return

Discover geothermal wonders, shred up a luge track, and dine on delicious Māori food in one action-packed day from Auckland to Rotorua.

First, head to one of New Zealand’s most iconic cultural and geothermal experiences Te Puia. Explore the stunning geothermal valley on a guided Te Rā experience, visit the famous Pōhutu Geyser. See NZ’s national bird and people’s namesake, the Kiwi, at the Kiwi Conservation Centre. Plus, delve into the history of traditional Māori arts and craftsmanship at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. Then enjoy a delicious hāngī-inspired buffet lunch overlooking the geothermal landscape before continuing your Rotorua adventure.

Spend the second half of your day at the adrenaline-pumping Skyline Rotorua where three luge rides are included in your ticket. Race down the world-famous luge track while speeding past dense forest. And as you ride the gondola to the summit of Mt Ngongotahā to go again take in the breathtaking views over Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island and the surrounding region. Then end of the day, kick back and relax on your return coach trip to Auckland, arriving back in the city in the early evening.
