Family Holiday in Rotorua
A family holiday in New Zealand is not complete without a few days spent in Rotorua. It is a district renowned for its lakes, geothermal activity, Maori culture and huge range of adventure activities. The city of Rotorua is set beautifully on the shores of Lake Rotorua, giving easy access to a range of water-based activities including fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing and kayaking. It’s a popular international tourism destination, so the transport, accommodation and activities are world class.
You will find plenty of choices for family friendly accommodation in Rotorua, leaving you free to enjoy your days and relax in the evenings. Rotorua is a natural adventure playground and a great place to bring the family for a fun-filled holiday. There’s something for every family member to enjoy in Rotorua – from walking or biking through the forest to making the most of the wide range of water activities in one of the district’s 16 gorgeous lakes.
For something really different, take the kids to one of the geothermal areas around the city. The main areas are Whakarewarewa, Waimangu Valley, Wai-o-Tapu and Hell’s Gate. The kids will be mesmerised by the geothermal activity – giving them a chance to learn about the forces of nature while still having fun. They’ll be surprised by the “blob plop” of the mud pools, excited by the gushing geysers and fascinated by the steaming hot water that bubbles from the natural underground streams.
Fish, animal and bird life in Rotorua is easy to find. The family can see wild trout in crystal clear streams, birds in their natural bush settings and even have a close encounter with a kiwi. New Zealand’s rural background also comes to life in Rotorua. The kids can milk a cow, watch a sheep being shorn and bottle feed a lamb.
For the thrill seekers, you can ride the gondola up Mt Ngongotaha and luge back down again. Families can experience the adventure of white water rafting and jet boating as well as mountain biking though Whakarewarewa Forest.
There’s also plenty of opportunity to learn about the heritage of Rotorua and New Zealand at any of the district’s Maori cultural attractions. Try weaving, learn the haka, watch a cultural performance or savour the unique taste of a traditional hangi.
There are plenty of eateries to please every palate, or you can return to your family accommodation and cook up some of the family favourites at the end of the day while you recall everyone’s favourite moments. Your Rotorua family memories are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces for years to come.
