NZ TRAVEL TIPS
The Rotorua Region
Rotorua is one of the original tourist destinations in New Zealand, and has a long history of welcoming visitors
From the moment people arrive in Rotorua they know they’re somewhere quite different. There is a scent of sulphur in the air and at nearby geothermal hotspots there are geysers spouting, mud pools bubbling and belching and warm geothermal springs and ponds that create a kaleidoscope of colour.
The Rotorua region is fast becoming known as nature’s spa of the South Pacific. Visitors can begin their journey by relaxing with a soak in the healing waters of the geothermal hot springs, indulge in a selection of therapeutic spa and health-massage therapies, or a rejuvenating dip in a natural mud bath
Rotorua boasts a strong relationship between Maori and European cultures. With one third of New Zealand’s population Maori, Rotorua is a stronghold of Maori culture, arts and crafts
Rotorua has its own natural theme-park unlike any other around the world. From fun activities for the family, or enjoying the numerous water activities including fishing for world renowned rainbow trout in crystal clear rivers. Visitors will also find an abundance of natural walking reserves, or for the adrenaline junkie, there are plenty of adventure activities to choose from.
