I tell every one that if they only have a day in the North Island this is where you spend it! Here are the activities/places I think are important: 1. The Maori Villages/hangi(traditional Maori earth oven for cooking) - Either or both since you have two nights and spend the time going through their village one or the other. Whakarewarewa Thermal Village and/or Tamaki Maori Village (new kid on the block with lots of money to create). 2. Paradise Valley Springs 3. Hells Gate - take a mud bath 4. Agradome Sheep Show/Farm Tour - learn about the NZ sheep actually very fascinating for an old Ohio boy '5. Blue Baths - since the 30's 6. Tribal Lights - a very interesting Maori performance south of Rotorua and north of Taupo are two extremely important geo-thermal places to visit if going this route: 1. Orakei Korako Cave & Thermal Park (one of two geo-thermal caves in the world - did "Walking with Dinosaurs" there 2. Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland 27kms south of Rotorua - geyser erupts 10:15am From Google - RotoruaNZ.com » Rotorua's Official Website Rotorua's Official Travel and Information Centre Rotorua's Official Travel and Information Centre Subscribe to our e-newsletters here ... www.rotoruanz.com/ - 14k - Cached - Similar pages Rotorua Information Centre \| rotorua.co.nz Rotorua Information Centre has been set up for you the visitor.
