Rotorua New Zealand: New Zealand's original resort town.

Visit Rotorua, the heartland of New Zealand Maori culture. Visitors to this area have the opportunity to experience the warmth and spirit of Te Maori people. Experiencing a Maori cultural performance, where stories are relayed through beautiful song and dance is a must. Indulge in a traditional hangi feast where the food is cooked below the ground in earthen ovens.

The Rotorua region is also home to some of New Zealand's best trout fishing. Get prepared to catch that trophy fish especially when guided by a local expert. Try your luck in one of the many volcanic crater lakes that are home to trophy rainbow trout.

Experience the Pohutu Geyser at Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley, know to shoot water 100 feet/30metres into the air.

Enjoy a day trip hike to the summit of Mount Tarawera and imurse yourself in the spectacular views, or take a scree run down into the crater!

Rotorua is known as Nature's Spa of the South Pacific. Relax with a soak in the healing waters of the geothermal hot springs, or totally unwind by choosing from a selection of therapeutic spa and massage therapies.

After experiencing all the history and scenery of this nationally historic area, relax in style when the day is done in on of Rotorua 's many lodging facilities.
