Un jour au départ d'Auckland, qui vous emmène d'abord sous terre avant de vous conduire vers les sources géothermiques. Waitomo est la première étape. La visite guidée à travers les grottes vous fait passer devant des stalactites, des stalagmites et des colonnes de calcaire, puis vous descend plus loin jusqu'à la rivière souterraine, où un bateau vous emmène sous un plafond illuminé par des vers luisants. Les grottes sont ouvertes aux visiteurs depuis plus de 120 ans, et la lumière y est incomparable à tout ce que l'on peut voir à la surface. Ensuite, direction Rotorua et Te Puia, pour une visite guidée de 90 minutes : le geyser Pōhutu, l'architecture maorie, l'école nationale des arts maoris, les cratères géothermiques et la maison du kiwi. Le trajet lui-même fait partie de ce que Cheeky Kiwi Travel propose. Les groupes sont petits, les minibus sont modernes, et les guides parlent tout au long du trajet plutôt que de mettre une liste de lecture. En quittant Auckland vers le sud, la route traverse la région de Waikato, que les opérateurs considèrent comme la plus vaste région agricole du monde, et passe par Taupiri, où des terrains de sépulture maoris et des poteaux sculptés se dressent au bord de la route. Otorohanga se proclame la capitale de la "Kiwiana" en Nouvelle-Zélande, et la ville tient ses promesses. À Rotorua, la visite se termine par un trajet guidé qui passe près du lac, du musée, des jardins gouvernementaux, de Whangapipiro (Rachel Spring) et des Blue Baths. Vous pouvez annuler au moins 24 heures avant le départ pour obtenir un remboursement intégral.

Itinéraire

Impossible de charger la carte. Réessayez dans un instant.

  1. Auckland Central

    The day begins in New Zealand's largest city, and on the way out the guide sets up what is coming while pointing out the main sights of Auckland.

  2. Waikato Region

    South out of Auckland through the Waikato, described here as the most extensive farming country in the world: rivers, hills, farm animals and places worth a photograph. The road passes Taupiri, where there are Māori burial grounds and carved poles of cultural significance.

  3. Continuing our adventure we enter Otorohanga “The Kiwiana…

    Otorohanga, which calls itself the Kiwiana capital of New Zealand, and looks the part on the way through.

  4. Waitomo Glowworm Caves

    The first main stop. A guided walk through the caves, past stalactites, stalagmites and lime columns, and then further down for the glowworms. The boat goes out onto the grotto river with thousands of them overhead. Waitomo has been showing this to visitors for more than 120 years.

  5. Te Puia

    The second main stop is Te Puia, on a fully guided 90-minute tour: Pōhutu Geyser, Māori architecture, the National Māori Arts School, geothermal craters and vents, and the kiwi viewing house.

  6. Nga Manu Ahurei is Te Puia’s native bird enclosure

    Nga Manu Ahurei is the native bird enclosure at Te Puia. New Zealand species are kept there at close quarters, kiwi among them, with an account of the conservation work that keeps the populations going.

  7. Pohutu Geyser is New Zealand’s largest active geyser

    Pohutu is New Zealand's largest active geyser: it plays several times a day and can reach 30 metres. It sits inside Te Puia, which is where the geothermal half of the day happens.

  8. Rotorua

    Rotorua closes with a guided drive past Lake Rotorua, the Rotorua Museum, the Government Gardens, Whangapipiro (Rachel Spring) and the Blue Baths.

  9. Auckland

    The road north again, still guided, with one or two stops not announced in advance.
