Rotorua

Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s first tourist destinations, warmly welcoming people from all over the globe for over 200 years. Situated on one of the world’s most active volcano regions, this place is brimming with remarkable Maori culture, world-class activities, and astonishing scenery.

With the scent of sulphur floating through the air, the first attraction to Rotorua is often the geothermal activity. This is like nowhere else in the world with natural hot springs, bubbling mud pools, geysers and exclusive day spas. Explore the region by bike, take a scenic flight or venture into the protected area of Te Urewera with a Maori guide and plant a tree to forever remain in the forest.
