Often regarded as the cultural hub of New
Zealand, Rotorua is home to a diverse multi-cultural population—35 percent
of which are Maori—and host to thousands of international visitors every
year. Permeated with Maori legend, Rotorua's ancient yet volatile geothermal landscape
is world famous. Various tours explore these hot springs, geysers and bubbling
mud pools, so intrinsically tied with the culture and history of the native Maori
people. Such unique experiences are offered at the Wai-O-Tapu
Thermal Wonderland and Whakarewarewa
Thermal Village.
Located on the south shore of Lake
Rotorua, three hours south of Auckland
by car, this vibrant city is also renowned for its spectacular natural scenery.
Interspersed among the thermal wonders, numerous lakes, forested river gorges
and the imposing Mount
Tarawera adorn the Rotorua area. The varied terrain favours world-renowned
trout fishing, river rafting, mountain biking and major sporting events such
as the annual Cateye
Moonride and Rotorua
Half Marathon, both held in the Whakarewarewa
Forest. After an adventure-filled day, visitors to Rotorua can unwind in
therapeutic, mineral-rich water at various hot spring locations, including the
famous Hells
Gate Thermal Reserve, or over a local brew at the Pig
& Whistle Historic Pub.
