what to do in Rotorua?
visit the link below to find out:-
The Redwoods is an amazing place, you can have a walk around the Redwoods, but we just took couple of photo and headed to the next destination.
The next stop is Wai-O-Tapu, an active geothermal area at the southern end of the Okataina Volcanic Centre, just north of the Reporoa caldera, in New Zealand's Taupo Volcanic Zone. It is 27 kilometres south of Rotorua.
Lake Tikitapu or Blue Lake, is the smallest of four small lakes lying between Lake Rotorua and Lake Tarawera in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island. The others are Lake Rotokakahi, Lake Okareka, and Lake Okataina.
Blue Lake is so beautiful and peaceful place to visit, however you have to go to the opposite of the Blue Lake, like our video show in the last part, the front of blue lake is just look like a beach, but the opposite is totally different!
that's it for today, more video and blog coming soon !!

Lake Okareka walk plus some thermal lakes
A walk around Lake Okareka. Parking near the end of Acacia Rd.
It was a nice calm day, and there was plenty of birds around. We encountered shags, herons, geese, swans, dab chicks, tomtits, kingfishers and possibly a pterodactyl.
Then we called into the car theft capital of NZ, rotorua, for a look around Kuirau Park. It had some nice hot pools and hot mud puddles dotted around the place.

Blue Lake and Green Lake, The Red Woods, Government Gardens, Kuirau Park.
BLUE LAKE AND GREEN LAKE - Maori names are Lake Tikitapu and Lake Rotokakahi. Why are they called blue and green lake? Yes, your guess is right. The water is actually blue and green and there is a lookout in between them that on a good day, you can see the difference.
The RED WOODS - known also as Whakarewarewa Forest. This is a home for mountain bikers, hikers, walkers and horse riders. Another activity is the red woods tree walk which is around 30nzd per person. or you can just visit this website for more info:
The GOVERNMENT GARDENS is a public park located beside Lake Rotorua which was built by the government as a tourist attraction in New Zealand.
KUIRAU PARK - another public park where you can see numerous areas of vigorous geothermal activity. Yes! it's for FREE! :D

Waiotapu green lake. Near Rotorua, New Zealand.
. I have no idea what chemicals in the earth make this lake such a vivid green. The colour you see is a pretty true reflection of what is there.

Rotorua Travel Guide - New Zealand Memorable Moments
Rotorua Travel Guide - New Zealand Memorable Moments
Rotorua is known as the thermal wonderland of New Zealand. Its hot springs and geysers have attracted tourists for over a hundred years. Rotorua sits on the shores of Lake Rotorua of New Zealand. There are several other lakes nearby. Along with the geothermal wonders, there are also the more usual water activities such as fishing, boating and white water rafting. Tourism is a major industry in Rotorua, and for good reason, the tourism services are therefore well developed and visitors should definitely make a stop at the Tourist Information Centre on the main road, Fenton Street.
Rotorua is built over a geothermal hot spot. There are numerous natural vents, hot pools and other geothermal features in and around the city. Many of these are in parks and reserves. Natural eruptions of steam, hot water and mud occasionally occur in new locations. Many places have their own private geothermal bores for heating and water for bathing although private use of naturally occurring geothermal water and steam is controlled. It has recently been refurbished. Wai-O-Tapu is also an entertaining day out.
Geologically, Rotorua is in the middle of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, which is named after Lake Taupo, the largest volcano in the area. There are four major volcanic calderas, which now contain lakes, and several more recognisable volcanoes in the surrounding area. It is this geologically active zone that produces the heat that is needed to drive all the geothermal activity.
Rotorua is about a 3-hour drive south from Auckland, with several nice towns and villages along the way. There are two main routes, via Hamilton initially travelling on State Highway 1 and then joining State Highway 5 at Tirau, or via Matamata on Route 27. The Matamata route is less busy and probably a more interesting bet for travellers, but sections of the road boast the highest accident rates in NZ, so caution is needed. Matamata is where Hobbiton was built for the Lord of the Rings. The set is now a tourist attraction.
Rotorua is one of the most common places to try the traditional maori feast, the Hangi. This earthen oven technique is similar to the Hawaiian Imu and results in a very distinctive smoky earthy flavour - well worth trying. There are numerous places to try a Hangi around Rotorua. There are many hotels, rental homes, backpackers, motor homes, camp grounds, motels and bed and breakfasts.
Heading south from Rotorua takes you to Taupo, a similar town on the side of New Zealand's largest lake. Northwest takes you to Te Puke, Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty coastline, a nice place to soak up the sun. There are two routes; via Te Puke and SH30 brings you into Tauranga via Mount Maunganui.Whakatane is another coastal town in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, with empty beaches and one of the best climates in terms of hours of sunshine. North leads to Hamilton, Waitomo or Raglan and south east into the sparsely populated, and ruggedly beautiful Urewera National Park and East Cape.
