The fireflies in childhood memory are in the summer dusk, as if scattered on the earth, the faint stars. We followed Maori guides on a boat, shuttled deep in the dark river in the cave. Looking up, the fireflies perched in the corners of the deepest cave, quietly exuding a faint halo. It is a pity that I can't use the camera phone to record this wonderful moment. If you can, you still have to be immersed and experience it in depth. Waitomo Firefly Cave is not only a place to literally see fireflies, but the stories of nature, history, culture and Maori ethnicity that it carries are even more exciting.

Visiting the Hobbiton movie set was an enchanting experience! Walking through the lush green hills and charming hobbit holes felt like stepping into the pages of Tolkien's books. The attention to detail was astounding, from the colorful gardens to the intricate craftsmanship of each hobbit house. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and trivia about the filming process. Overall, it was a magical journey into LOTR realm.

A definite MUST VISIT for garden lovers. This has got to be our fourth visit and we almost always make a pit stop here when we're in Auckland. There's a number or themed gardens and a few more in the making. Each garden collection explores the history and context of a particular theme and offers insights into the landscape and architecture of the period.

If you can only participate in one project in New Zealand, then I will definitely recommend the Blackwater rafting of the Waitomo Cave, starting at 7 in the morning, the whole journey is five hours! At first the guide will teach you rope speed-down skills, sitting in rubber tires and drifting in the underground river, after crossing three underground waterfalls, the whole trip ends, five hours, fleeting!

Ruakuli cave, only 10 minutes drive from the famous Waitomo cave, the underground adventure is an hour and a half walk, you can see the blue light fireflies up close, listen to the narrator about the cave legend (the whole English explanation). It is worth mentioning that some areas in the Ruakuli cave are allowed to take pictures (Waitomo is not allowed to take pictures!), so friends who like photography are worth a visit!

Aigoton Farm belongs to the Rotorua area, the weather is chaotic, a while rainstorm, a while out of the sun, go out completely by luck. Fortunately, rent a car by yourself, travel is more convenient, otherwise it is really the hell!

Motorola's blue spring is definitely a beautiful suffocating place, here a curved spring water shows sky blue and very clear, the water grass under the spring water with the stream flowing, as if to a fairyland, really intoxicating.

We had a short family weekend staycation here. Quaint town with many English styled buildings and dotted with cafes and retail shops. We feel a 2 to 3 days trip here would be sufficient but it can be a great pit stop area if you're heading to Matamata or Hamilton.
