Hot waterfalls
in Rotorua
Butchers Pool,
Reporoa.
It was because of the Ward Baths Rotorua
became known as ‘The Spa Capital of the
South Pacific’, and today with the development
of the upmarket Wai Ariki Hot Spring and Spa
complex (due to open late 2019) this will really
put Rotorua on the map.
Rotorua offers so much more for visitors than just
thermal bathing – from luging to globe-riding,
ziplining to whitewater rafting, geothermal
parks to volcanic scenic flights, trout fishing to
parasailing or jet boating to bungy jumping –
Rotorua really does have it all!
Rotorua has also become known as the ‘Mountain
Bike Capital of New Zealand’ and has the contract
for the International Crankworx event for 5 years.
Rotorua has a diverse population and our
local Māori people keep their culture alive by
practicing and sharing their traditions of carving,
weaving, song and dance at several Māori
cultural visitor attractions in Rotorua. Other
ethnic groups have opened up restaurants in the
city creating a diverse range of cuisine on offer.
Rotorua is an easy place to get around, either by
foot around the city, by car, public transport or
the many tour bus operators that can get you
where you want to be.
Remember to give yourselves plenty of time
