Farewell the "City of Sails" as you travel south along the Southern Motorway to reach the market garden area of Pukekohe.

Today travel along the Bay of Plenty Coastline before heading inland across the volcanic plateau to the geothermal city of Rotorua, passing many of the regions crystal clear lakes en-route. Best known for its geysers, boiling mud pools, crystal lakes teeming with trout, steaming cliffs and volcanoes, Rotorua is also the home of Maori culture. Stand upon active volcanoes, peer into massive craters, enjoy a soak in a mineral hot pool and enjoy unspoiled native forests that cloak the region. This is your invitation to experience the essence of this extraordinary slice of New Zealand.
