Mitai Maori Village is at the town of Rotorua. Traditional Maori village offering a guided Bush walk, cultural performances and a ground cooked earth oven meal. See the fierce warriors in traditional dress paddle an ancient warrior canoe down the stream, singing their traditional song and view the glow worms in their natural environment. The show also include their people with traditional dress singing song and show telling us the story at the stage. The show begin at evening, so after the show we have a marvelous dinner, i especially like the lamb. Bus also fetching you around the town hotel and sending you back.

Whakarewarewa is the legacy and home of the Tuhourangi Ngati Wahiao people, who have been sharing their unique way of life with visitors from all around the world for over two hundred years. It is 5 kilometers 11 minutes drive from Rotorua Town, or you can take bus 11 with 5 minutes walk to your destination. Maori people have lived at the village for several centuries, taking advantage of the local geothermal activity for purposes of heating, bathing and cooking

Waitomo is around 190 km from Auckland situated on the north island of New Zealand. I had book the time slot to view some part of the places at their website with a fee. It is know as the best glow worm caves in New Zealand. Parking and dinning are easy to find and plenty at site. I book the triple cave combo that is Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Aranui Cave and Ruakuri Cave at their website for around 100+ NZD. So plan ahead your timing, it need time to travel from 1 site to another. There are guides to show you around at places. The boat trip to the Waitomo Glowworm caves is a WOW. There are also several tour companies organised tour trip to here from Auckland.

Situated at New Zealand North Island.. Lake Rotorua. Waiotapu thermal wonderland is around 27km away from Rotorua. I drive here, smooth traffic ample of parking places. There of a lot of thing to see, including Champagne Pool, Mud pool- the largest mud pool in new Zealand, the devil pool and lady knox geyser. For the lady knox geyser they got timing for the show. The staff adding some powder inside, then within few minute this geyser can reach up to 10 to 20 metres. Fantastic colourful terrain impressive landscape smoke and hot spring smell. Opening hour I think is around 0800 to 1700, admission fee needed.
