ROTORUA BUS TOURS:
Discover Rotorua - an area steeped in Maori culture, history, geothermal activity and stunning lakes.
Built on a geothermal field, Rotorua is the perfect backdrop for some of New Zealand's most accessible cultural experiences. You can watch a geyser erupt, pick your way around a bubbling mud pool, and gain an understanding of traditional Maori history and culture.
Here you can also take in the landscape surrounding Rotorua, from the 1886 Mt Tarawera eruption that covered the country side in ash to the lush fields that support a thriving agricultural industry.
