Before you book

Redwood Forest and Blue Springs

At Whakarewarewa Redwood Forest, some Californian redwoods are more than 100 years old and reach heights of up to 75 metres. The included walk stays at ground level; the elevated Treetop Walk is optional and costs extra.

The final stop is Blue Springs via the Te Waihou Walkway. From the Leslie Road entrance, the activity description mentions a return walk of roughly 15 minutes beside remarkably clear, turquoise-coloured water.

What's included and what to consider

Includes hotel pickup and drop-off within Auckland CBD, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland admission, Lady Knox Geyser, Redwood Forest walk, Blue Springs visit, scenic driving, air-conditioned vehicle, driver-guide, live English-speaking guide and a skip-the-ticket-line option.

Lunch or dinner, personal expenses and the Redwood Forest Treetop Walk are not included. Published accessibility information is contradictory, so wheelchair users should confirm the situation directly before booking.

Who is this trip best for?

It suits first-time North Island visitors, nature lovers, photographers and travellers who prefer not to spend many hours driving themselves.

It may be less suitable if you prefer flexible schedules or want to spend several hours at each stop. According to the operator's conditions, it is also not recommended for children under 5 or people with back problems.

TourBookGo practical view

Three very different natural environments combined into an approximately 12-hour day trip from Auckland.

This tour can be worthwhile if you want to maximise a day from Auckland while leaving the transport and main admissions organised. The key trade-off is pace, because visiting several locations in around 12 hours limits the time available at some stops.
