ACTIVITIES

An area of intense volcanic acivity, it has rightly earned it's alternative name of 'The Sulphur City' with impressive examples of bubbling mud pools, exploding geysers and evidence of geothermal activity practically everywhere you look. But Rotorua is not only known for what lies below. Rotorua has some of the richest Maori culture in New Zealand and a great place to experience a Maori concert in a Marae (meeting house) and to partake of a traditional 'Hangi' banquet.

If you prefer outdoor activities, Rotorua is also for you. Set amidst no fewer than 14 lakes and with spectacular forests on your doorstep the city is a mecca for Walking, Mountain Biking, Trout Fishing, Watersports, Farm Shows (including the renowned 'Agrodome'), Gondola and Luge Rides, 'Zorbing' and much more.
