There's plenty of things to do in Rotorua and these are some of the places we like to go and people we like to spend time with when we're not pushing people down hills in giant inflatable balls.
AGROVENTURES
A very cool adventure location with heaps to do! Try them all:
- Agrojet (NZ's fastest jetboat ride)
- Rotorua Bungy
- Rotorua Swoop
- Freefall Xtreme (skydiving without the plane!)
- The Schweeb (I can't explain it - click the image to visit their site!)
KAITIAKI ADVENTURES
White water rafting and sledging down the Kaituna river.
KIWI ENCOUNTER
The Kiwi Encounter at Rainbow Springs is the only purpose-built kiwi conservation centre open to the public in the world!
From here they hatch and raise kiwis until they are big enough (1 kg) to protect themselves from predators, at which time they are released back into the wild.
