I need a fellow with a car to share this trip with me. We will start from Rotorua. I need a ride from Rotorua to Whakatane on Tuesday, that way we can go to White Island on Wednesday (229 NZ dollars). On Thursday we can come back to Rotorua and stay until Friday evening ( Champagne Poll? Waiotapu, Lady Knox Geyser...). On Saturday we can visit Taupo (Huka falls, Orakei Korako). On Sunday I need to get back to New Plymouth. That could be a good opportunity for you to visit the Taranaki region after our trip. I might say that's a beautiful region to see ( especially climbing on top of the mountain).
