Riveting Rotorua<br />
Rotorua (www.rotoruaNZ.com) in the North Island promises to keep you captivated<br />
with its geothermal wonders and unique cultural experiences – from geysers and<br />
boiling mud pools to marae stays, hangi feasts, an authentic pre-European Maori<br />
village and indulgent spa therapies. It has a well-developed adventure culture, from<br />
sky diving to zorbing.<br />
• Plunge into a white-water rafting experience where you enjoy the scenery,<br />
culture, history and beautiful environment including wonderful nature and<br />
wildlife with friendly, professionally trained guides.<br />
• Hop on off-road vehicles for some screaming fun adventures designed for thrill<br />
seekers, couples, families and corporate groups large and small: over an<br />
extreme 4WD trail, Sprint Car Racing in a purpose built track and Monster 4X4.<br />
• At Te Puia, you can experience authentic Maori marae welcome and learn a great<br />
deal about well-preserved Maori customs – plus a chance to taste traditionally<br />
prepared hangi dinner.<br />
• For an unforgettable Maori culinary experience, follow the Indigenous Food Trail.<br />
The trail is aimed at educating guests on native Maori cuisine and the indigenous<br />
herbs and plants used, and is headed up by local expert Charles Royal, who<br />
created the tour exclusively for Treetops Lodge and Wilderness Estate.<br />
• Zorbing is another crazy Kiwi adventure experience. "Zorbonauts" spin down a<br />
steep hillside in a large air-filled rubber ball.<br />

Experience the native flora and fauna and one of New Zealand's most popular<br />
geothermal attractions.<br />
