PACKAGE 3 - Te Pā Tū & Rapids Jet & Waiotapu (Own transport required)

Embark on a thrilling journey through the heart of New Zealand's North Island with our epic package deal. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders, adrenaline-pumping adventures, and rich Māori culture.

Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland

Waiotapu was famous solely for its natural beauty – one of
the most photographed geothermal fields in the world. However, in addition to
its beauty, Māori narratives, history, kai (food) and people are becoming more
deeply bound to the Waiotapu experience and this is expected to intensify over
time. Waiotapu features Aotearoa’s most vivid and colourful ngāwhā (hot
springs), including the world-famous Champagne Pool, volcanic craters, the Lady
Knox Geyser, Primrose Terrace, naturally coloured hot and cold pools, sinter
terrace formations and the country’s largest bubbling mud pool.

Inclusions:

• Lady Knox Geyser (10.15am daily eruption)
• Brilliant geothermal colours
• Champagne Pool
• Bubbling mud pools

Rapids Jet Taupō

Across 35 minutes, we traverse white-water rapids and
straightaways on this thrilling encounter, reaching up to 80 kms even through
the river’s narrowest canyon. Our experienced and passionate drivers will jet
spin, bank, and master hairpin turns before surfing the powerful Ngā Awa Pūrua
Rapids.

In the quieter sections of our mighty river, we share
stories of Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whāoa. Our river is a life source of whakapapa
(genealogy) and kai and has been an arterial route for trade and connection to
whānau (family) for hundreds of years.

Inclusions:

• Nga Awa Pūrua Rapids - the biggest commercially
  jet boated rapids in New Zealand.
• Learn about the wildlife and history of the area
  with our local drivers.
