Day 2. Rotorua. After a leisurely breakfast, we travel to Whakatane for our launch ride to the active volcano, White Island. The climax of the day is the hike to the crater rim. En route back to Rotorua, you will experience a formal Maori welcome onto a Marae performed by our Ngati Rongomai hosts. They will then entertain us with a Maori concert, followed by a hangi (food cooked in an earth oven). BLD

Day 3. Rotorua to River Valley. On the way to Taupo we stop at a fascinating thermal valley to explore boiling mud pools, mineral terraces and steaming volcanic lakes. Later we visit the Wairaki geothermal area and then stop at the Huka Falls en route to our remote riverside lodge. River Valley Lodge. BL

Day 4. River Valley to Kapiti Coast. The Rangitikei River is home to some high class, river rafting. Dependant on the degree of challenge sought, there are two options available. By mid afternoon a relaxing drive to the small coastal town of Paraparaumu. Wrights by the Sea. BL

Day 5. Kapiti Coast to Wellington. Access to Kapiti Island, a conservation gem, is strictly limited, in order to preserve the island birdlife. By mid afternoon we return to our coach and complete the drive to New Zealand's capital, Wellington. Kingsgate Wellington (1 night for 6 day passenger). BL
