Adventure Activities, New Zealand Tours, Culture Experiences
Whether you want to experience the Maori culture, geothermal earth forces, natural spas or other more adrenaline fueled activities such as Skydiving, rafting and jet boating or try your skills at Zorbing – rolling down a hill in an inflatable ball, then Rotorua is the place to be.
Rotorua is most famously known for its Maori culture and geothermal activity. With just over a third of Rotorua’s population being Maori, you cannot help but find yourself immersed in part of their culture. Maori’s are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people you will meet. For a taste of Maori cuisine why not try a Hangi, visit a culture show to find out just how they used to live and learn about their unique legends and incredible respect of the land.
When you arrive in Rotorua you will instantly notice the unique aroma of the area, this is down to the geothermal activity and smell of sulphur. Hot steam escapes from cracks in the road, back gardens come with their own natural mineral hot pool. Rotorua, despite being one of New Zealands most visited areas, still maintains its small town charms. Make sure you find time to relax in some of the wonderful natural thermal pools, sit back, relax, unwind and take in the natural beauty and cultural atmosphere that makes this place one of the most visited places in New Zealand and voted as New Zealand’s most beautiful city.
