What you will see in Rotorua during a Sightseeing tour

Rotorua, a jewel in the North Island of New Zealand, is a vibrant hub that captivates visitors from around the world with its unique geothermal landscapes, rich Māori culture, and an array of adventure activities. A sightseeing tour in Rotorua is reminiscent of stepping into a world where the earth speaks through geysers, mud pools, and thermal springs. It’s a journey through a land where stories come alive with each step you take into its lush forests and enchanting lakes.

Must-See Geothermal Wonders

The geothermal activity in Rotorua is simply unmissable. Relish the spectacle of the Pohutu Geyser at Te Puia, which can erupt up to 30 meters, offering a bewitching show of Mother Nature's force. Witness bubbling mud pools and steam vents that paint the landscape with their primordial beauty. Your guide will likely share tales of the earth's mighty power as you marvel at these natural phenomena.

Māori Cultural Experiences

Rotorua is the heartland of Māori culture, and a sightseeing tour will allow you to immerse yourself into their rich traditions. Savor a ‘hangi’ feast, cooked beneath the ground using geothermal heat, or be spellbound by the poignant haka, a traditional Māori war dance. These experiences are not just entertaining, but also deeply moving, connecting visitors to New Zealand's soul.

Stunning Nature Trails

Prepare to be captivated by the emerald-green lakes, such as Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake) and Lake Rotokakahi (Green Lake), each with their own stories and sacred significance among the Māori people. If you're lucky, your Happytripz guide will recount legends that make these places even more intriguing. Wanders through the majestic Redwood Forest will teleport you to an age where nature dictates time.

Adrenaline-fueled Adventures
