About Rotorua

Rotorua is one of the original tourist destinations in New Zealand, and has been welcoming visitors for more than 200 years.

The area is well-known for its geothermal activity—in fact is becoming known as "Nature's Spa of the South Pacific". Visit nearby geothermal hotspots and see spouting geysers, boiling mud pools and warm geothermal springs. Silica terraces are naturally decorated with a kaleidoscope of colours.

Rotorua is the heartland of New Zealand Maori culture. Visitors have the opportunity to experience the warm spirit of Te Maori.

The Rotorua region is also one of New Zealand's prime trout fishing spots—you're practically guaranteed a catch, especially if a local professional guide is hired. Many of the volcanic crater lakes are home to a plentiful stock of trophy-sized rainbow trout.
