Attractions

Although the major thermal areas and Maori culture remain very popular, Mount Tarawera now plays a big part in Rotorua tourism. It has a strong mystical history for the Maori, and I keep hearing rave reports about four-wheel-drive and fly-over crater tours. If your time is short, the four must-see/must-do attractions are the Te Puia; Rotorua Museum; either of the geothermal reserves, Waiotapu or Waimangu; and a scenic flight over Mount Tarawera. This is easy to manage in 2 days. Visit the museum first or last for a comprehensive overview of Mount Tarawera's role. And pick up the Passport to Rotorua's Finest Attractions brochure from the visitor center -- it details the bus service that frequents 18 leading attractions.

Saving on the Sights -- A number of offers represent significant savings on the leading attractions. Check at the visitor center or its website (www.rotoruanz.com) for the latest Rotorua Hot Deals. New packages and deals are added regularly throughout the year; they typically include Tamaki Tours, Polynesian Spa, Agrodome, Skyline Skyrides, and many other star attractions and activities.
