White water rafting on the Kaituna River was the surprise highlight of our whole New Zealand trip. My husband was terrified before we started and could not stop grinning after.
Rotorua completely surprised us, the geothermal energy at Te Puia feels almost otherworldly. Watching the Pohutu Geyser erupt while steam rose all around was a genuinely humbling experience for both of us.
Waiheke vineyards were stunning, wish we had one extra day just for the island.
Auckland felt a bit rushed on day one since we landed late and had an early start planned the next morning. Rotorua more than made up for it once we arrived though. The geyser eruption at Te Puia had perfect timing when we visited, steam and sulphur smell and all. The cultural show that evening rounded things off nicely with dinner included. Would just build in a slower first day next time.
Waiheke Island wine tasting with the ocean view was worth the trip alone.
