Your first stop is the charming town of Tirau, nestled in the heart of the Waikato region. Known for its distinctive corrugated iron sculptures and vibrant small-town atmosphere, Tirau provides a delightful break. Stretch your legs, use the restroom, and savor a coffee or light refreshment at a local cafe.

Next, visit Orakei Korako, or "The Hidden Valley," a stunning geothermal area between Taupo and Rotorua in New Zealand. Known for its vibrant silica terraces, active geysers, bubbling mud pools, and the unique Ruatapu Cave, it offers scenic bush walks and rich birdlife.

Arrive at Huka Falls, one of New Zealand's most spectacular natural attractions. The powerful flow of the Waikato River through a narrow gorge creates a breathtaking waterfall. Experience the falls up close with a river cruise that provides a unique perspective of the falls' power and beauty. The cruise offers scenic views of nature and wildlife with expert commentary.
