26 July / Day 6: Rotorua - Orakei Korako - Huka Falls - Taupo

One of the most amazing New Zealand activities awaits us today in Orakei Korako geothermal park: the Hukafalls Jet Ride! Travelling an incredible 50 mph low on the water, skimming past cliffs and trees, powering along a beautiful river environment before gripping on during the trademark 360-degree spin is an adrenaline-pumping experience you’ll never forget!

After the game, grab a beer or two in the best local pubs, or spend night out in New Zealand's capital. We can tell from experience, these guys at the end of the world know a lot about entertainment!

28 July / Day 8: Wellington - New Plymouth

Take an early breakfast and prepare for a busy day. Start with a city tour and visit The Parliament (Beehive), Cable car, Botanic gardens, Te Papa Tongarewa museum, Mount Victoria lookout. The capital of New Zealand - Wellington has been recently labelled the 'coolest little capital in the world' by Lonely Planet, as well as the world's most liveable city. This city is a home to the National Archives, the National Library, the Te Papa National Museum, numerous theatres, and two universities. Wellington, that is famed for its vibrant creative culture driven by the arts, cuisine, wine, coffee and events, is a launch point for multiple tour and outdoor activities, as well as a crossing point to the South Island. Ride the historic cable car from Lambton Quay to the lookout at the top, then walk back through the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Wander along Wellington's eminently walkable waterfront round to Oriental Bay, shop in the bohemian Cuba Street or enjoy the 360-degree views from the top of Mount Victoria. Of course, you can't leave without visiting the Weta Cave, where you can glimpse the artistry behind some of the world's most spectacular movies. After lunch, we drive to New Plymouth (about 5 h) and check in.

29 July / Day 9: New Plymouth – Waitomo

We've planned a sporting day today. We start with an easy hiking experience to enjoy views of Mount Taranaki. According to Maori mythology the volcano Mt Taranaki once stood in the center of the North Island near the volcanoes of Tongariro, Ruapehu, and Ngauruhoe. However, Taranaki and Tongariro clashed for the right to be the husband of another mountain, the beautiful Pihanga. Tongariro drove Taranaki southwest towards the coast where the modern city of New Plymouth is situated today. Since that time he has stood there alone and the eruptions of Mt Tongariro remind Taranaki that there is no way back for him. A view from above shows that the picturesque Taranaki has a perfectly round base. Its height is 2518 meters above sea level and the last eruption occurred in 1854. In 1881 the Egmont National Park was founded around the volcano - a paradise for lovers of hiking and the great outdoors activities. The Goblin Forest, one of the natural filming locations of the movie The Lord of the Rings, is located within it. Also, we visit a spectacular Te Rewa Rewa bridge and continue our way to Waitomo.

30 July / Day 10: Waitomo Caves – Hobbiton - Auckland

We wake up early in the morning, have breakfast departing a hotel at 08.30 am to start an amazing tour to Waitomo Glowworm Cave. The name 'Waitomo' comes from the Maori words wai - water and tomo - a hole or a shaft. So Waitomo is naturally home to many awe-inspiring subterranean sights. Huge underground caverns that you can abseil into, serene boat rides along ancient watercourses and, of course, the glow worms. World-renowned, the caves are a magical experience with the lights from thousands of exclusively NZ glow worms illuminating the pitch-black cave system full of ancient stalagmites and stalactites. Continue our way to Hobbiton and open a door to the most famous fairy tail in the world! Whether you are 'The Lord of the Rings' fan or not, you just can't miss the opportunity to gain a first-hand insight into filming of one of the most acclaimed movie sagas of all times! Get up close with over 44 hobbit holes from the film including Bilbo's Bag End & Sam Gamgee's house, dance under the party tree or swig back a beer at the Green Dragon Inn. Enjoy a lunch at Shire Rest Café (not included in the price) before we take off for Auckland at about 4 pm.

31 July / Day 11: Auckland

Day at leisure. Why not spend a day at the ocean? New Zealand’s most unique whale and dolphin watching safari cruise departs from downtown Auckland. Don't miss a chance to enjoy a 4.5-hour cruise on board the luxurious yacht as we explore the beautiful Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

1 August / Day 12: Wine Tour & 3rd match of USA

We start to warm ourselves up for the 3rd game of the USA team with a wine tour to Waiheke island.
