Your journey starts as you drive through a two-hour scenic drive South of Auckland into the mighty Waikato of New Zealand's lush countryside. Discover the unexpected at the Hamilton Gardens, a living museum of gardens from ancient Egypt to the modern days. Enter a world of imagination, exploration, beauty, and inspiration. Embark on a self-guided tour on a journey of hidden stories, secret symbols, and insights, bringing Hamilton Gardens to life for first-time visitors. Then travel to Raglan Rock, where people create memories whilst challenging themselves. Explore the natural underground formations and caves with a canyoning expedition in Raglan and be surrounded by picturesque scenery throughout the trip. This is a highly-rated, truly magical canyoning experience. As the sun goes down, descend on the ancient freshwater boulder stream of Mt Karioi.
Wrapped up in the latest canyoning suits, jump into the freshwater pool, challenging yourself to climb and abseil the cascading waterfalls, all under the light of your head torch and guides’ instruction. Slowly the tiny and unique New Zealand glowworms will begin to radiate their luminescent light and accompany you on your adventure, surrounding you in their spectacular fairy light galaxies at the final waterfall.
