Rotorua Information

The Rotorua region was the birthplace of New Zealand tourism in the 1800s and it remains one of New Zealand’s favourite destinations. The unique volcanic landscape, living Maori culture, natural hot springs and plenty of options for adventure make it a must visit region.

Although the original tourist drawcard of the Pink and White Terraces were destroyed in the 1886 Mt Tarawera eruption, they was replaced by the amazing Waimangu Volcanic Valley that formed during the eruption. Today, that’s just one of a range of natural attractions that bring people from around the world, including the southern hemisphere’s only hot waterfall.

The people of Rotorua like to talk of five spirits; the spirit of the earth, rumbling beneath your feet, the ever present spirit of Maori culture, the rejuvenation of spirit you get with a soak in a natural hot spring or a relaxing massage, freeing your spirit with outdoor adventures - trout fishing, kayaking, waterskiing, swimming, hiking and mountain biking or challenging your spirit activities like sky-diving, jet boating and zorbing. The region is 234 kilometres from Auckland and 457 kilometres from Wellington.

The touring route through the region is known as the Thermal Explorer Highway. Major coach companies provide daily services to Rotarua or you can fly in from most major New Zealand airports. Rotorua has a temperate climate with summer temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees celcius and winter days generally between 10 and 12 degrees celcius.
