Boasting everything from geothermal activity and natural beauty to authentic Maori culture, adventure activities and water sports, there is so much to see and do in Rotorua.

The 18 sparkling lakes in the area, offer ample opportunities for fishing, swimming and boating. Those who crave adventure will enjoy white water sledging or rafting the Grade 5 Kaituna River. 

Thrill-seekers who prefer to keep their feet on dry land can have a go at everything from bungy jumping and luging to mountain biking and canyon swinging. Take a look at the exciting things on offer at Velocity Valley.
