WW: Welcome to Rotorua, the Jewel of the North Island, New Zealand




Hi everyone..

Welcome back and allow me to take you to Rotorua, the Jewel of the North Island, New Zealand, this time.

In the middle of the Desert Road


Rotorua is one of the famous tourist destinations in Aotearoa, particularly in the North Island. Before the pandemic, this city is swarmed by nature lovers and outdoor as well as adrenaline junkies as Rotorua is famous for those thrilling adventures. Rotorua is also one of the best spots to enjoy geo thermal springs, spa, and all those wonderful place. 

Lake Rotorua


We tried as many as we can, from hot spring family pool, luge, the Hobbiton, the Maori cultural center, the geyser, Rotorua Lake and the museum. 

At Te Luia, exploring the Maori amazing cultures


Even along the way, when we passed Mt. Ruapehu, Lake Taupo, Wairauoru, and more cities, the sceneries are already breathtaking.


we really love the Hobbiton!

It was fun indeed and I will be more than happy to share more details on my next post. But now, let's see a recap of our Rotorua trip in photos.


Enjoy!

Hi everyone..

Hope all is well and I am enjoying the beautiful weather in Wellington!
This time, I would like to share the photos of our recent trip to Rororua, one of the most favorite destination in Aotearoa, New Zealand. it is famous for its geothermal bath, amazing landscape and fun outdoor activity centers.

Let's stop by at Hatupatu Scenic Lookout, Rotorua, New Zealand. Here we can enjoy the calming scenery of Lake Rotorua. As you can see, the lake is unique with two distinct colors because it is sulphuric. It comes with distinct aroma as well but it's still manageable, at least for me.

We also stopped by at Rotorua Museum. The architecture is so beautiful but it is temporarily closed for strengthening and renovation. 



At Hatupatu Scenic Lookout, Rotorua, we can also see the Lakeland Queen Cruise Boat, which I guess is no longer operating, at least for now. Here are some photos we took around the area and will be more than happy to get back to you with more details. Till then, take care!
