Welcome to Rotorua
This small, geothermal city is situated on the shores of Lake Rotorua.  It is surrounded by volcanoes, lakes, parks and recreation areas.  Here you can experience first hand the rich heritage of Maori culture.  Rotorua is the center of tourism for New Zealand.
 
In Rotorua, you will find and endless list of thing to see and visit.  While you are there why not take part in a traditional Maori Hangi.  This is a great feast put on by the natives and is often followed by a traditional concert.  You can also see traditional concerts at the Maori Arts and Crafts Center shown above.
You can also visit the Rainbow Springs and it's farm show or the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves.  Moving on to the Whakarewarewa or Waiotapo Reserve you will see many active geysers and bubbling mud pools!
                                                      
 
If you want more adventure, why not take a Styline Skyride Gondola up to the Ludge.  This is a fast cart track, rather like a go-kart race!  Its endless hours of fun!
Also you can visit the Agradome Farm.  Here you can see a sheep show which includes a live sheep sheer, sheep dogs and lambs!  You can also take an optional pony trek.
