Things to do in Rotorua start with the ground beneath your feet. Walk through New Zealand's most active geothermal reserve at Hells Gate, home to the largest hot waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere and the country's only mud volcano. For a quieter side of the region, a Lake Rotomahana cruise and walk takes you through the world's youngest geothermal area. Add a hot pool soak, a Māori cultural evening or a zipline through the forest, and the weekend sorts itself.
Rotorua steams. Geysers, mud pools and hot springs sit right alongside the city, and Te Arawa culture runs through all of it. Rotorua's attractions and activities are easy to stack into a weekend, from a slow soak to a fast ride through the forest.
Geothermal water is Rotorua's signature. The two hour restorative journey at Wai Ariki is a full bathing ritual, and Polynesian Spa Deluxe Lake Spa entry looks out over Lake Rotorua.
Want mud too? The Hells Gate mud bath and spa is a Rotorua classic. For somewhere quieter, try forest hot tub bathing under the trees. See more health and wellness experiences.
The Mitai Māori cultural experience runs for three hours and includes a hāngī style dinner buffet. After dark, the immersive light trail at Te Puia lights up the geothermal valley. For a hands-on keepsake, visit the Mountain Jade carving studio. Keep exploring with Māori culture experiences.
Rotorua's forests are made for ziplines. The Rotorua zipline canopy tour and treetop ziplining both run through native bush.
On wheels, try the karting and Monster 4X4 combo or a 4WD bush safari. For something sillier, the ZORB globe ride rolls you downhill inside a giant inflatable ball. The half day Redwoods e-bike hire is an easier pace.
The Agrodome farm show and tour is a family favourite, and the Rotorua Duck Tour drives straight into the lake. Explore the wider Bay of Plenty or nearby Taupō.
Rotorua is known for geothermal activity, including geysers, mud pools and hot springs, and for Māori culture. Hot pool and spa experiences, cultural evenings and forest activities are a good place to start in Rotorua.
