Rotorua – A World Within a World

Located in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, Rotorua  is the place to enjoy some of the country’s most iconic natural attractions and geothermal landscapes. Incredible expereinces from adventures to enrichment and relaxation, and welcoming people who are proud of sharing their rich Māori culture with you.

Whakarewarewa Forest, aka “the Redwoods Forest”, is a hands-down favourite for locals and visitors alike. Just a 10-minute drive from the city centre, the forest is home to wide, meandering trails  through giant California redwoods, New Zealand’s famous silver fern, and native  bush undergrowth. A section of this 5,600 hectare forest contains their world-renowned mountain bike park, which is the largest in the  Southern Hemisphere.

In the heart of New Zealand’s North Island lies Rotorua. This is a place where you can experience the true depth of what Aotearoa has to  offer. A place where you’re a visitor, not just a tourist.

Rotorua is like a world within a world: a region with some of New Zealand’s most iconic natural attractions, from dormant volcanoes and  geothermal wonders to pristine lakes and magical forests; a place that offers an incredible array of experiences, from adrenaline and  adventure to enrichment and relaxation; a warm and welcoming people who are proud of sharing their rich Māori culture with you; and so  much more.

Whether you want to recharge in natural hot springs, feel the thrill of flying downhill in a Luge or ZORB, escape amid 200km (124 miles) of  mountain biking trails, run into the crater of a dormant volcano, raft the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall, experience true  connection with Māori culture, or all of the above – it’s all here. Experiences unlike any other. Moments that mean more. Memories you will cherish forever.
