The city is based around the southern shore of Lake Rotorua.  Now very calm waters, the history of the lake includes violent volcanic eruptions.  The thermal activity is still present today, which contributes to the sulphur smell that is apparent when you enter the area.  The volcanic past provides thermal and mud pools for visitors to enjoy.  It really is a natural wonderland where you can experience the power of nature.

Rotorua houses 16 lakes that are perfect for fishing with residents enjoing either a lakeside or rural community.  The Lakes provide fantastic opportunities to experience a variety of water sports including jet boat tours and canoeing, with rapids providing the best locations for white water rafting.  Another popular pastime is boogie boarding down the rapids where you truly have to be at one with nature.

For the adrenalin rush you can go parachuting or slide the dormant volcano crater at Mt Tarawera.  Facilities also provide opportunities to bungy jump or for more family oriented activities there is the ability to lunge down mountain slopes or enjoy a leisurely ride on a Gondola.  The kids will love to play in the mud pools and be fascinated by the random steam shoots that find a crack in the surface to escape the underground thermal activity.

With many luxury activities also available, Rotorua provides a fantastic destination for every holiday.   Day spas provide excellent massage opportunities with the natural hot pools also providing a way to relax and enjoy this natural phenomenon that attracts visitors from all over the world.
