Sulphur Point
Located at the southern end of Lake Rotorua, Sulphur Bay is a perfect example of Rotorua's famous geothermal environment. The constantly changing landscape around the bay has everything visitors to Rotorua could wish for. Silica flats, rocky terraces, and sulphur ledges sit alongside active boiling mud pools and steam vents. Even the water is interesting, its milky colour the result of sulphur particles that are suspended in the water. The bay's closeness to feeding grounds and the warmth generated by the geothermal activity, means the area attracts many native birds. Fans of bird watching can spot around 60 different species here including the banded dotterel, the scaup, and three types of gull in this protected wildlife reserve.
Government Gardens
Beautiful and spacious gardens near the centre of Rotorua. The Government Gardens offer a bowling club, petanque, croquet and a golf course. Within the gardens, you'll also come across various points of interest that include the 1927 Arawa Soldiers Memorial, a number of geothermal features and the Kwaqiulth Totem Pole. The beautifully maintained gardens are a short walk to Lake Rotorua, the town centre and the wildlife refuge of Sulphur Bay. The land is one of legend and historical importance to the local Maori people, with a number of significant battles having taken place. The original Maori owners gifted the 50 acres of land in the late nineteenth century for 'the benefit of the people of the world'. The Government Gardens is also home to the Rotorua Museum , Polynesian Spa and the Blue Baths. The restored Blue Baths offer the opportunity to enjoy a dip in the warm waters and relax in an architecturally stunning building.

Bitter Tour Guide

3.00Wasn’t quite what we were hoping for. Our guide was fixated on politics and the “discrimination and persecution” of the Māori people. Lacking in enthusiasm for her own country. Referred to “white” New Zealanders as Europeans. I was personally offended.
We were left in two minds about this tour, although it delivered on its' promise

3.00We were left in two minds about this tour and left wondering why? I think my expectation was for more information during what was a quite a longe drive to the Rotorua area. Lake Rotorua was interesting as were the gardens. The sulphur lakes were like nothing we'd seen before and Lake Tarawera is beautiful, but I think we felt we could have spent the time differently. On a more positive note, the tour did deliver what was promised, we just felt we should have done something else.
Beautiful Rotorua lakes

3.00Enjoyed the tour . Sherill was very passionate about New Zealand. On the trip she tried her best to share her knowledge and background facts whilst travelling in the van, but we couldn’t hear her clearly as no PA system with microphone available .. The company should seriously think of providing her with the microphone system as that could enhance the experience to 5** and make it memorable. We ran out of time to experience the tree climbing , glow worm caves and visit Kiwi plantations which we saw whilst driving . Credit goes to her time managing and made the decision to skip these so we arrived on time did not have to wave bye bye to the ship Many thanks
Highly recommend this tour

5.00This was an awesome tour; highly recommend. Our guide Tom was super friendly, knowledgeable and funny. Great combination. The drive is a bit long to get to the area but van was very comfortable and air conditioned. Plenty of bathroom stops and all were very clean. Tom had plenty of water and snacks since it was a long day. Wish we could have treated a kiwi.
A stunning getaway

5.00It is a highlights tour so there is a lot packed in a short amount of time. If you want to spend hours strolling government gardens then this is probably not the right fit. But our family thought it was perfect. Enough time to appreciate every stop but no so much the little one got bored. Our guide Tom was fantastic and shared a lot of his culture with us!
