Rugby Tours To Rotorua

Rugby Tours to Rotorua is a town set on its namesake lake on New Zealand’s North Island.

Rotorua is renowned for its geothermal activity and Maori culture.  In Te Puia’s Whakarewarewa Valley, there are bubbling mud pools and the 30m-tall Pohutu Geyser, which erupts many times daily.

It’s also home to a living Maori village and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute, with traditional wood carving and weaving schools.  The Rotorua region has 17 lakes, known collectively as the Lakes of Rotorua. Fishing, waterskiing, swimming and other water activities are popular in summer.

Known as a spa town and major tourist resort since the 1800s, many of its buildings hint at this history.  Government Gardens, close to the lake-shore at the eastern edge of the town, are a particular point of pride.  Rotorua Museum of Art and History is housed in the large Tudor-style bath house building.  You will also find the Art Deco style Blue Baths, noted for their embrace of mixed sex bathing in the 1930s, remain open today.
