Rotorua City & Lakes Tour

Take a complete guided tour of the Lakes District through the Rotorua City and Lakes Tour. Your avid English-speaking tour guide will regale fascinating tales about the region's history. You will learn about the rich Maori culture of the area throughout the tour. As you go sightseeing around the iconic buildings and the million-dollar houses in Rotorua, you'll get a glimpse of contemporary life in the city. You will also get a chance to see the beautiful sprawling gardens and geothermal areas, owing to the volcanic mountain Tarawera.

Travel from land to lake on 'The Duck', a genuine World War II vehicle that can travel over land and water - a unique and rare means of transportation! Once you have taken in the beauty of the city, prepare yourself for an exciting splashdown into Lake Titikapu and Lake Ōkāreka. The magnificent spectacle of Mt. Tarawera and flourishing native forests are a bonus! The lakeside community will offer you a new perspective on Rotorua's geography, which changed dramatically over a century ago when the volcano erupted.
