Rotorua Things to Do Tips by I-Believe-I-Can-Fly

About 5 minute drove from city center, we arrived in the gondola base. We took the gondola ride uphill, it offered a spectacular view of the town. I prefered Rotorua's gondola ride rather than the one in Queenstown. It offers more scenic ride.

There are a restaurant and gift shop up there.

They put a sky swing--a 150 foot high tower in the middle of the site. We heard people screamed up there. God, those people must try to suicide!

As for a less-adventurous peole like myself, I rode luge for about 5km track and catched the ski-chair up. Pretty nice experience!

Rotorua Museum is pretty, with Tudor architecture style. It is here that we could learned about Maori culture and Rotorua's history.

The same complex also houses Rachel Springs and Blue House spa.

Rainbow Springs sets amidst native bush and springs. It is here that I first time saw New Zealand icon bird, KIWI and wild trouts.

The only thing that we overlook while visiting Rotorua is its lake. Lake Rotorua is pretty with dark color water. It is a large volcanic lake. Mokoia island which lies at the center of the lake can be seen from the shore. And Rotorua itself lies on the shore of Lake Rotorua.
