Travel story
As the sun setting on the horizon gently colors the city of Auckland, a journey begins by rental car following a carpet of green with quiet anticipation. The glowworms sparkling in the cave darkness are so fantastical they seem like fragments of the sky fallen to earth, their Laputa-like light stirring the heart. Soon the volcanic ridgeline and emerald lakes appear; walking amid the contrast of rugged rock faces and clear water, you can feel the ancient breath of the earth on your skin. Spend a peaceful time by the lake during the day, and in the evening surrender yourself to the deep silence of the national park. In Rotorua, geothermal steam and Maori stories intersect, allowing you to feel the warm heartbeat of the land. The road promises freedom, and the stars scattered across the Southern Hemisphere sky gently illuminate your travel memories. Each scene draws a new map in your heart, and here is a story that invites you to the next encounter.
Signature points

Glowing caves and a hot-spring town — Enjoy Waitomo & Rotorua
The glowworm caves, whose ceilings glitter like a starry sky, are a must-see. In the latter part, head to Rotorua for geysers and hot-spring culture. After a satisfying hike, soothe your tired body in the hot springs and experience the "heat" of volcanic New Zealand with all your senses.
Freedom by rental car — detours and views, it’s up to you
