ROTORUA

by kiwigal_1 - last update: Oct 18, 2004

Rotorua is one of New Zealand's major travel and tourism destinations. On my most recent trip here I spent 5 days exploring what Rotorua had to offer.

Rotorua is located in one of New Zealand's most active geothermal areas. If you are into geysers and boiling mud pools and don't mind the smell of sulphur then make your way here!

Adventure Sports

Rotorua is also an awesome place to go mountain biking! Either bring your own bike or hire one.

 hi Rhianon, great rororua page. It's many years since I visited, but I'd love to go back some day. I have to say, visiting the Agrodrome with a hangover was just a bit surreal for me. Performing sheep? ;-)) fergy.
