| Rotorua Travel Guide for backpackers |
| The smell of sulphur is the signal that you have arrived in one of New Zealand’s most popular attractions. Famous for its hot springs, bubbling mud pools and sprouting geysers, it is also the hub of the Maoris and their distinct culture. You will enjoy a traditional Moari welcome, taste real Maori Hangi; earth oven food, and watch the fearsome Hake. About a third of Rotorua’s people are Maoris.
