Discover Rotorua with Excurzilla: Top Tourist Attractions

Welcome to Rotorua, a geothermal wonderland and a hub of Maori culture. At Excurzilla, we offer guided tours that take you to the most popular and breathtaking spots in this unique region. Here are some of the must-visit places you can explore with us:

1. Te Puia

Te Puia is home to the famous Pohutu Geyser, which erupts up to 20 times a day, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters into the air. This geothermal park also features bubbling mud pools and hot springs. Additionally, Te Puia is a cultural center where you can learn about Maori traditions, watch traditional carving and weaving demonstrations, and even enjoy a Maori cultural performance.

2. Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland

Wai-O-Tapu, meaning "Sacred Waters," is a vibrant geothermal area known for its colorful hot springs, including the Champagne Pool and the Artist's Palette. The Lady Knox Geyser is another highlight, erupting daily at 10:15 AM. Our guided tour will take you through the park's unique landscapes, explaining the science and history behind these natural wonders.

3. Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village

Experience the rich Maori culture at Whakarewarewa, a living village where residents have adapted to the geothermal environment. Here, you can see how the locals use the hot springs for cooking and bathing. Our tour includes a guided walk through the village, a traditional Maori performance, and a chance to taste food cooked in the geothermal steam.

4. Redwoods Forest

For nature lovers, the Redwoods Forest offers a serene escape with its towering Californian Coastal Redwoods. You can explore the forest on foot or by bike, and for a unique perspective, try the Redwoods Treewalk, a series of suspension bridges that take you high into the canopy. Our guides will share insights into the forest's history and ecology as you enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
