There is great diversity in Rotorua attractions, activities and culture which makes Rotorua one of the most popular New Zealand tourist destinations.

We start our tour of Rotorua attractions southeast of the city, on the road from Taupo, at Waimangu Thermal Vallery.

This is an active volcanic area with one of the largest boiling lakes in the world. One of the popular Rotorua atractions, it is set in the heart of Rotorua's geothermal region.
