2025 Rotorua Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

On a recent trip to New Zealand I managed to conquer some fears and tick white water rafting off my bucket list - and I’ve never been so satisfied in my life! It’s always something I’ve wanted to do but I’ve never had the confidence, however the amazing team at Kaituna River Rafting were incredibly experienced and fully reassured me. The adventure takes you down the Kaituna river through a serious of rapids and small waterfalls in a manned inflatable. You’re given a small training session before hand and then work with the team and instructor to guide yourself down the falls. The highlight is a 7M high waterfall which is the highest commercially raft able waterfall in the world! The guides are incredibly experienced and their knowledge Of the water, the land and also the Māori heritage is really incredible. They also have a very talented photographer that shadows you along the journey and captures amazing photos of your adventure down the rapids - they’re an extra $40 to buy in high definition but totally worth it! It’s genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever done and the team is one of the nicest, genuine and engaging I’ve ever come across. They made sure everyone had the best time, while remaining totally safe and comfortable while also educating us along the way. I couldn’t recommend it enough and I’d love to get back! It’s a 10/15 minute drive from Rotorua and has all the equipment you need along with changing rooms - they will fill prepare and protect you from the rapids. We paid around $60 as they had seasonal offers but it’s really a good deal regardless of price! #adventuremoments #rafting #whitewaterthrills #newzealand #northisland #rotorua #watersports #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo #myitinerary #nature

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Pohutu Geyser is a geyser located in the Whakarewarewa geothermal valley in Rotorua in northern New Zealand. Pohutu Geyser erupts about 1-2 times per hour, about 20 times a day, and the height of the water column can reach 30 meters. It is the largest and most spectacular geyser in the entire Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the special geographical landscapes such as silica plateaus, boiling mud and unique vegetation are also attractions that cannot be missed. If we describe New Zealand's South Island and North Island, the South Island's majestic glaciers are like a frosty beauty, while the North Island's volcanoes, hot springs and geothermal energy are like a passionate dancer. The coolness of the South Island and the heat of the North Island are the best descriptions of New Zealand's 100% pure.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Lake Rotorua is the second largest lake in the North Island, second only to Lake Taupo. It is a crater lake left over from a volcanic eruption 200,000 years ago. Today I came to Lake Rotorua and took the roller turbine cruise ship Lakeland Queen. When I entered the town of Rotorua, I was attracted by its tranquility and the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. After getting off the bus, I walked along the trail towards the pier. There are many birds and ducks on both sides of the trail, leisurely strolling on the lawn to find food. While waiting for the boat, I took some time to take pictures of the scenery on the shore with my mobile phone. After sailing, the ship passed through Kawaha Point, Sulfur Bay and Mokia Island. The scenery along the coast and the beautiful views of lakes and mountains make tourists intoxicated. People who live here are really lucky to have such a paradise-like environment, which makes us who live in Taiwan very envious.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Te Puia, Rotorua Maori Cultural Village, is one of the world's most famous Maori cultural display sites. It is located in the Rotorua Maori Geothermal Reserve on New Zealand's North Island. Locally, Te Puia means fountain. When you enter the park, you can see Maori wood carvings of human faces. The facial expressions of the wood carvings are very dramatic. In addition to exquisite wood carvings, there are also stone carvings, bone carvings, and weaving techniques. In addition to the ancient houses, meeting houses and warships that display the traditional life and culture of the Maori people, the Maori Cultural Village also has geothermal resources such as a Pohutu geyser, mud pools, hot spring pools, etc. These are all must-see attractions when visiting Te Puia Maori Cultural Village.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Agrodome Farm is located in Rotorua in the central region of New Zealand's North Island. The farm was first established in 1971 and covers an area of ​​more than 350 acres. There are wonderful wool shearing shows, dog herding performances, and tour buses to visit cute alpacas and other small animals. The wool shearing show is a must-see highlight when visiting the farm. When the sheep are pulled onto the stage by the farmer, their look of despair is very funny. There are more than a dozen types of sheep on the farm. When the sheep's wool grows to a certain thickness, the farm will arrange for staff to shave the wool. The shaved wool is collected and sent to factories to be processed into various wool products, such as quilts, clothes, etc. What opened my eyes the most here was the kiwi fruit. As soon as I entered the farm, I was attracted by the large expanse of green kiwi fruit. This was also the first time I saw kiwi trees and the abundant kiwi fruits with my own eyes. Another popular animal star on the farm is the alpaca, especially the small alpacas, which are as cute as plush dolls. Agrodome Farm is a place worth visiting in New Zealand. The wonderful wool shearing show and super cute animals are the reasons why tourists come to watch.

#AprilGoodPlaces2025 The Municipal Gardens in Rotorua, New Zealand is located on the shore of Lake Rotorua. The Municipal Gardens is a large garden square, open, clean, quiet, elegant and very beautiful. The criss-crossing roads are wide and clean, the green spaces are shady, the flowers are colorful, the giant trees stand proudly, and the hot springs are spewing mist. There are all kinds of exotic trees in the park, such as the five-finger tree, the Canada date palm, the French plane tree, etc. There is also a beautiful rose garden and flower beds full of various white, yellow, purple and other small flowers, which are particularly beautiful. There are also two small geothermal springs called Municipal Baths in the Government Garden, which emit steam from time to time. There is a magnificent Bath House in the Government Gardens. It was built in 1908 and was originally a sanatorium. It has now been converted into a museum and art gallery. There is a large lawn in the garden, which is said to be a croquet court. In front of the lawn there is a Victorian building (Rotorua Museum of Art and History), which is also a landmark of the Municipal Garden and is very beautiful. It was originally a bathhouse when it was built in 1908 and operated until 1966. It is now a museum. There is no worldly noise here, but only far away from worldly disturbances, with only pleasing scenery and a peaceful state of mind that can be experienced with heart.

During our visit to Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island, my dad and I had an amazing time rafting with Kaituna Cascades at Kaituna River, which is often regarded as one of the best places for white-water rafting, especially for thrill-seekers. What makes the Kaituna River so unique is the presence of the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall—Tutea Falls—which boasts a 7-meter drop. Our guide, who was from the U.S., was highly experienced, though he joked that it was only his second day on the job. Despite his warning that rafts often flip going down the falls, ours didn’t, thanks to his expert instructions. Everyone in our group stayed safe and sound. #travelbloggers #100WaysOfTravel #newzealand #thrillseeker #rotorua #whitewaterrafting #tripblazers #kaituna #river #tutea #tuteafalls #okere #okerefalls #rafting
