About this activity
Day 1: Auckland to Taupo
Welcome on board, Vibrators! Today we leave the busy city of Auckland and head south to the famous Waitomo Caves for some instant underground action! After that, it's off to Taupo for our first night's accommodation and a chance to paint the town red as a group!
Day 2: Taupo to Wellington
Today we head south to New Zealand's capital city - Wellington. Along the way we'll stop in at the National Army Museum and have a bite to eat afterwards. Once in 'Welly' the afternoon is yours to explore this funky city!
Day 3: Wellington to Kaikoura
