Geysers release steaming water that roars from the earth. The warm water of Lake Rotorua glistens along the shores of the city. The sizzle of thermal baths almost blows into the streets. This evening you will be welcomed into the indigenous world of the Maori. Enter the traditional Maori village and be greeted by the chief with a hangi, the traditional greeting of tribesmen pressing their noses to one another as a symbol of trust, respect, and familiarity. The scent of hardy root vegetables and succulent meats emanate from the hangi, foods cooked traditionally in an earthen oven. Listen to the beat and rhythm of tribal songs and dances performed by villagers. The connections to Polynesian culture are present; however, when the haka begins, you quickly hear the historical depth that the Maori culture contains. The traditional war dance echoes in the meetinghouse as drums beat, as the tribesmen beat their chests, and their voices boom louder into the night. Make your way back to your luxurious accommodation at Lakeside Novotel where you will sink into the comforts of the hotel and the evening.

• Day 16 : The Bubbling Earth

  Depart early to witness the stunning landscape of erupting geysers, hot thermal springs, and bubbling mud pools. The historic Waikite Geyeser, meaning “water seen from a far,” was once able to be seen from a huge distance, but now sits in constant steam and bubbles over, the craggy gray separating itself from the lush green that surrounds it. The geothermal pools are filled not only with boiling transparent water but also with ancient Maori tradition. Witness a cooking exhibition in what the Maori refer to as a “natural cooking pool.” The alkaline spring is constantly flowing and continuously boiling, which is of great use in cooking a range of delicacies. A large woven pouch filled with seafood, eggs, sweet corn, or watercress is dipped into the bubbling water. When the pouch is pulled from the pool, the delicious scent of sweet corn and mussels emanates from the fabric. Wandering through the fantastic landscape of the thermal village will also bring you to the large sapphire pool traditionally used for bathing. Dip your fingers into the pool and feel the warmth of the water due its constant influx and outflow of hot water keeping the pool at a constant perfect temperature.

• Day 17 : City Made of Sails

  Today you will depart Rotorua and fly to the fabulous city of Auckland. Auckland is known as the City of Sails for the mass of boats that are housed in the harbors. As the sun glistens off of the water, the bright sails from incalculable boats glide through the sea like a collection of low-lying clouds. The sweet scent of ocean water drifts through the diverse and vibrant neighborhoods of the city. Check-in to your luxurious accommodation at SkyCity Hotel, the tallest building in Auckland, and the Southern Hemisphere. The view from your room encompasses Auckland’s panorama, from the pastel homes, to the rocking boats in the harbor, to the green trees in the distance.
  
  Spend the night exploring Auckland’s shores on a luxurious dinner cruise. Enjoy a three-course meal along the water where the scent of fresh cooked seafood, from prawns to mussels, surrounds you. The Auckland Harbour Bridge’s arch hovers over the bay as the sails for the nightly regatta rise into the sky. The sun sinks along the horizon bringing bright orange and red stretching across the sky and reflecting off of the white sails. The cool breeze dances around the dusk. The sweet mist splashes your face as the night slowly settles over the city and the sea.

• Day 18 : The World Brings You Home

  Today you will depart Auckland and make your way over the great Pacific and back home. The sights, sounds, and flavors of Australia and New Zealand have been discovered but you know there is always more to see. The adventure through the varied landscapes, with the friendly people, and along the stunning shorelines will never leave you. As the ocean sits serenely below the plane you hear the sounds of the haka lingering in your ears. The colors of the Great Barrier Reef sit in the back of your mind, and your journey through Australia and New Zealand offered you the discovery of otherworldly proportions that you can always try to discover again.
