Advantages: huge variety of activites for all ages

Disadvantages: smelly at first

Rotorua is a great spot for a wide range of sightseeing and activities, it smells a bit like rotten eggs but you soon get used to the smell!

One of my favourite activities in Rotorua was an evening tour of a traditional Maori evening, with a visit to an old fashioned style village, a wonderful meal and fantastic traditional dances.

Another must see is the Wai-o-tapu geothermal park. You can spend hours here exploring the many natural wonders such as sulphur pools, volcanic craters, geysers and mud pools. I would definitely recommend spending a full day here to appreciate all there is to see!
There are many geothermal areas around Rotorua, some of them are free others require an entry free. Alot of the hotels and hostels have natural pools within the hotel to enjoy! These can be extremely hot but worth a quick dip.

Another great activity in Rotorua is Zorbing! This involves throwing yourself down a steep hill in a big ball! This is reasonably priced but a great laugh!

The Rotorua museum is also well worth a gander! lots of history about the town and some Maori history/culture.

Another great activities is the cable car and karting! this is great fun, flying down a track in a go kart, like been young again! the views from the top are also well worth the trip!

Rotorua is a great town to visit with a wide range of hotel and youth hostels to stay in!

Summary: great place to visit with loads to keep you entertained for weeks
