Located on the central North Island volcanic plateau, the geothermal city of Rotoura is one of the most unusual geographical regions on Earth. Sitting within the Pacific Rim of Fire, the region has one of the world’s most active geothermal fields. The unforgettable smell of sulphur, clouds of steam and volcanic activity are a natural part of life in Rotorua.

Description
There’re so many incredible wonders to take in; start by walking around the free thermal reserve at Kuirau Park in the city centre which features beautiful public gardens, bubbling mud pools, colourful hot lakes, and thermal foot pools.
Visit the sulphurous crater lakes of vibrant green and orange at Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland. Explore Rainbow Springs Nature Park to discover local flora and fauna and spot the native Kiwi bird. At Kerosene, soak in a mud bath or relax in steaming thermal pools. There’s also the legendary Pohutu Geyser in Te Puia, just five minutes from Rotorua city centre, which erupts to a height of 30m up to 20 times a day.
Also just south of downtown Rotorua is Whakarewarewa Forest which, with its trails that weave through lush native forest and past giant Californian Redwoods, is brilliant for hiking and mountain biking.
Rotoura has a rich Maori heritage which can be experienced with the Te Arawa people. You can attend a traditional Maori hangi feast and also have a tour of Ohinemutu, a living Maori village, to learn about their culture and mythology.

This is the first time I have used this company and I am so pleased I found them. I couldn’t find any multi centre trips to Andalucia until I came across this company. It’s exactly what I wanted. From my first contact with them until I booked the trip I couldn’t fault them. Kelly was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend this company.

This is our 2nd time booking with Gavin. He organised our 1st teip to Thailand and now it is time to go to Vietnam. It is so easy and straightforward with him. He knows his stuff, recommends great places to go/see and is always after a great price for his clients. We will continue to book with eShores for custom made holidays.

It was the team photo on eShores website that drew me to them - real people, who might actually care about planning my trip. I chose well - Dave Felton listened to what I wanted, and amazingly managed to work to my budget! Couldn't be happier with my booked trip to Australia in October. Thank you Dave.

Hi. 10/10 Just booked our holiday via these guys. This was a highly recommended travel agent. So we contacted them. Told them what I wanted. They were able to beat all the quotes I was about to find. Always quick to get back to me. Will use these guys again.
