Adventure Activities
Rotorua has become the birthplace of many world firsts, earning it the title of New Zealand’s Adventure Capital. You can dare to take on the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall, go Bungy jumping, luging, sky diving, mountain biking, or take a scenic floatplane or helicopter ride.

Family Activities
Enjoy seeing wildlife and animals up close at Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park and Paradise Valley Springs, or try mini golf at Putt Putt golf course.
Geothermal Wonders
Even in the city centre of Rotorua, you’ll notice the geothermal activity all around you! But just a short drive will take you to one of the nearby geothermal parks where you can see volcanic crater lakes, spouting geysers, colourful sinter terraces and acid lakes.
Trout Fishing
The Rotorua region is also one of New Zealand’s prime trout fishing spots; many of the 13 lakes and numerous streams are home to trophy-size Rainbow trout! We have a local professional fishing guide for hire for one person or a group – or for a truly unforgettable fishing experience, hire a boat or try fly-fishing.
