Auckland Day Tour: Wai-O-Tapu, Redwood Forest & Blue Springs

Experience New Zealand's Unique Nature in One Day

Depart from Auckland early in the morning for a day trip encompassing Wai-O-Tapu, Rotorua's Redwood Forest, and Blue Spring.

The tour's main allure lies in visiting three distinct regions with completely different landscapes within a single day. From geothermal areas shaped by volcanic activity to forests of giant redwoods and springs with crystal-clear waters, immerse yourself in New Zealand's diverse natural beauty.

Explore the Astonishing Geothermal Landscapes of Wai-O-Tapu

First, visit the Wai-O-Tapu mud pools to witness the unique spectacle of hot mud bubbling. Next, travel to Lady Knox Geyser to observe the powerful eruption of the geyser shooting high into the air.

Within Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, take a walk along Track 1 to get up close with surreal volcanic landscapes, including the iconic Champagne Pool, the intensely colored Devil's Bath, steaming craters, and hot springs.

Walk Through the Redwood Forest and Blue Spring

After exploring the geothermal area, proceed to Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest (The Redwoods). Stroll along the paths amidst the towering redwood trees, enjoying a serene forest atmosphere distinctly different from the geothermal zone. Optionally, you can experience the Redwoods Treewalk for an additional fee.

Finally, visit Blue Spring on the Te Waihou Walkway to admire the incredibly clear, pure water and the surrounding natural beauty. Conclude your tour by returning to Auckland by vehicle.
