Waitomo Glowworm Caves
A great day trip, where you can hike around the natural hot springs/pools(these pools reach above 60 degrees celsius naturally!). However, it does have an acquired smell, so be prepared for that at first.
Rotorua
Another insightful and memorable activity to do when on a day trip in Rotorua. You have the opportunity to witness a unique and ancient culture.

A good pair of jeans goes a long way. Perfect for cooler days and layering tops and outwear.
