The 12-day Bucket List Walk departs Rotorua and Matamata roughly once per fortnight, from December to April, inclusive.
Where Should We Meet?
Most of our guests decide to spend a night in Rotorua or Matamata before the trip. We can pick you up from your pre-tour accommodation in either central Rotorua or Matamata. We pick up walkers in Rotorua between 8.00am and 8.30am; we pick up walkers from Matamata at 9.30am.
For suggestions on where to stay in Rotorua, we’ve compiled a handy list over in our blog ‘Best Places To Stay In Rotorua.’ What we mean by ‘central’ Rotorua is anywhere within the CBD or 5 minutes drive of the CBD. If you’d prefer to stay further out of town please be prepared to take a taxi or shuttle into town to meet us on Day 1.
For pre-tour accommodation in Matamata we recommend either Broadway Motel, or Matamata Central Motel – both are within easy walking distance of all essential amenities.
Where Can I Park My Car?
We have options for parking your vehicles in Rotorua City, please get in touch with our team for more information. We can easily drop you back to your car when we return.
Do You Offer An Auckland Pick-Up Service?
For any bigger groups coming from Auckland, we can arrange a private shuttle transfer, just have a word to our team and we’ll get arrangements underway.
