Rotorua is an adventure-lover's paradise!
We have some of the country’s most innovative people here in Rotorua who've invented world-first amazing attractions and activities such as ZORB, the Luge at Skyline Rotorua, and Vertigo, New Zealand's first 43-metre (141-foot) freefall.
Rotorua is also home to the world-famous Kaituna River where you can raft over the world’s highest commercially raftable waterfall, Tutea Falls, at 7 metres (23 feet).
For the mild adventurer to the most hard-core action seeker, Rotorua will not disappoint.
