Rotorua on the North Island is one of New Zealand’s premier holiday destinations where visitors can arrive and know they are somewhere special. It’s a geothermal wonderland of mud pools and it’s also a showcase of Maori culture, home to 11 major lakes that fascinates guests.

It’s also an ideal spot for swimming, boating and fishing with 15 fishable lakes and the perfect water conditions for kayaking, water-skiing, windsurfing and jet-skiing. The myriad rivers and streams are a great place for trout fishing, and it’s ringed by scenic tracts of bush, forest and farmland.

Cataclysmic volcanic activity in the times past chained the Lakeland together, and shaped the amazing scenery that is there today. With endless thrill, leisure and sporting options, Rotorua is truly an adventure playground that never fails to enthral and amaze travellers. Run into the mouth of a volcano or raft the world’s highest waterfall, the list goes on and on. Rotorua accommodation is also available to suit all budgets. Large numbers of organised tours call into Rotorua so accommodation is always at a premium so it is wise to book as early as possible.

Your next visit to New Zealand should include a stop over at Rotorua as this is one holiday destination not to be missed.
