Rotorua, situated at a leisurely 50 minutes drive from Taupo, is on the route for almost every visitor to New Zealand’s North Island.
Why not base yourself at Lake Taupo TOP 10 Holiday Resort and experience Rotorua via one of our Rotorua Highlights Day Trips?
These can be reserved from our Taupo holiday park’s reception and include some of the best thermal areas in the world, encounters with Kiwi and Tuatara, and Zorbing.
The best thermal areas in New Zealand are located between Taupo and Rotorua. See geysers, boiling mud and silica terraces. Visit an extremely rare geothermal cave, New Zealand’s newest thermal area, and New Zealand’s largest thermal area.
Are you looking for adventure? Excitement? An attraction that is pure Kiwi ingenuity? Sphere down a hill protected by a massive cushion of air! Also known as a Zorb! Sound a little too tame? Try it wet, or jump in with a couple of your mates.
Kiwi and Tuatara are both endangered New Zealand species. Learn how we’re trying to save them from extinction as well as seeing adult Kiwi in their natural environment. Tour through a working Kiwi hatchery and nursery; walk through open aviaries; see Kea, Morepork and many other native New Zealand birds.
Did you know you can experience Maori cultural tours in Taupo? Ask at our Taupo holiday resort’s reception how you can spend a whole day with a genuine Maori Guide learning about traditional Maori cuisine and cooking methods including a superb hangi feast. Enter Ngati Tuwharetoa tribal lands and base yourself at Tamau Pa where you have exclusive access to a magnificent native wilderness, boasting native flora and fauna in a sub-alpine forest. Return transport is provided to and from Lake Taupo TOP 10 Holiday Resort with this full day activity.
For those with limited time we do have an evening experience available. From the traditional welcome and challenge, to the unique hongi greeting, this will be a night like no other. Guides will tell the stories and history of New Zealand and Ngati Tuwharetoa as you learn about traditional Maori art forms. Experience a Maori hangi (meal) while you watch a spectacular performance of song, dance and haka.
All of these trips can be booked with Lake Taupo TOP 10 Holiday Resort .
