rotorua

has anyone done a from Auckland to rotorua bus trip of the solstice etc, and how long does it take.

if not is there companies that on shore who do it and aprx how much

Rotorua is a good 3 hours drive from Auckland CBD by car, so by bus a little longer. With a 6hour roundtrip, don't think it is a practical tour from a cruiseship unless the ship is overnighting.

Rotorua is best done from Tauranga, either ship tour, private operator or car hire & drive youself.
