[NZ]🌋From Auckland to Rotorua!

#OverseasTravelTactics ✨A one-day trip plan to experience volcanoes and Maori culture✨ Rotorua, a town with the scent of hot springs, is about a three-hour drive from Auckland. We used a local tour to safely and efficiently visit the tourist spots! 📍① Rotorua Museum (exterior view only) The beautiful Tudor-style building was once a hot spring treatment facility. It is currently closed for earthquake-resistance construction work, but its majestic exterior is impressive✨ 🌿The garden in the front yard is also well-maintained and is a very popular photo spot! 📍 Queens Dr, Rotorua 3010 📍② Te Puia A must-see attraction in Rotorua! You can enjoy a Maori cultural experience and geothermal sightseeing at the same time✨ 🔹 Exhibition of traditional architecture, sculpture, and weaving 🔹 Wood carving workshop 🔹 Natural geyser promenade 🔹 There is also a facility to observe the national bird, the kiwi bird! 🎟Admission fee: NZD 75 for adults (advance reservations recommended) 🌋③ Pōhutu Geyser Located inside Te Puia, the largest geyser in the Southern Hemisphere! The large geyser that erupts several times a day is very impressive. You can feel the energy of the earth up close and enjoy the fantastic scenery of rising steam 🌫️ 🕒 On average, it erupts about once an hour (up to 30m high!) 📷 It's fun to wait for the right moment to take a photo 🚌 Access from Auckland This time, I took part in a day trip using the local optional tour (with an English guide). ✔️ Morning departure → Night return (7:30-19:00) ✔️ Major hotel transfer included ✔️ NZ geography and culture commentary in the car 🗓Itinerary image (example) 07:30 Depart Auckland (pick up) 10:30 Arrive Rotorua → Photo shoot in front of the museum 11:30 Visit Te Puia (lunch included) 15:00 Depart → To Auckland 19:00 Arrive at hotel 💰 Estimated budget (per person) ・Day tour fee: Around NZD 200 ・Drinks and snacks: NZD 10-15 ▶ Total: Approximately NZD 210 (approximately 18,500 yen) ✅Recommended for ✔︎ Interested in hot springs and geothermal areas ✔︎ Want to experience Maori culture ✔︎ Don't mind English tours/want to get around efficiently #Rotorua #Aucklanddaytrip #Te Puia #Pohutu Geyser #Rotorua Museum #New Zealand Travel #Maori Culture #Hot Spring City #Geothermal Tourism #Overseas Travel Plan
