Family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child - 14) flying into ROT at 12:30 PM and will leave next morning by a tour visiting Hobbiton and either Waitomo caves or Spellbound caves (which is better to visit with a tour) to Auckland. Which tour would be recommended for this activity?
What can we we see in Rotorua that day?
(1) Goethermal experience
(2) Maori culture
(3) Spa
(4) Redwood trees - I think they look pretty at night with hanging bridges and lanterns
Glow worm - kayaking tour - doubt can fit this and we can not paddle for 45 minutes
Not doing river rafting and Zorbing
Don't have time for Kiwi hatchery
So down to top 4.
What experiences to choose as we wont have a car (or do we need to rent a car for not even a day) - may be experiences around Rotorua city center ro thos eclose to each other or those that provide transport.
Where to stay for that one night?
Do hotels provide airport shuutle and if yes, which ones?
Which Maori experience to choose -- Don't need one with dinner as don't eat meat and fish. Te Pa Tu v/s Mitai Maori Village v/s Whakarewarewa?
Wai-O-Tapu thermal (can not ame it to 10;15 Am geyser) v/s Te Puia geothermal
Hells' gate v/s Polynesian Spa
We will appreciate the help. Thanks.
