Rotorua

Rotorua is one of the greatest magnificent volcanic landscapes in New Zealand. It is worth noting that there is a great deal of Maori culture in this location along with natural hot springs and plenty of opportunities for adventure. Rotorua is probably one of the most famous destinations within New Zealand.

This region is the birthplace of New Zealand tourism in the 1800s, when people came here from around the world to see the amazing Pink and White Terraces; these are vast, naturally formed silica terraces that flow down towards volcanic lake.

The terraces were destroyed in the 1886 when Mount Tarawera eruption, but Rotorua's reputation as a fascinating destination continues to grow.

Apart from its amazing crater, mountain and lake landscape, Rotorua is memorable for striking Tudor-style architecture and stunning public parks. The farmland around Rotorua’s city is some of the most fertile in New Zealand. Staying on a working farm is a great way to get a different view of this amazing region of New Zealand.

When explaining the appeal of Rotorua, the native people like to talk of the five spirits. You too can feel the spirit of the earth at Rotorua, as it rumbles beneath your feet and escapes, hissing, through fumaroles and geysers. You can witness the true spirit of Maori culture, with authentic native performance experiences.

You can soak in a natural hot spring or a relaxing massage; this will surely rejuvenate you. Or enjoy the great outdoors with fishing, kayaking, waterskiing, swimming, hiking and mountain biking. Adventure here is second to none and a truly enjoyable experience for all.
