My Guide Rotorua

Think your family is tough enough?

The Family Tough Guy & Gal Challenge is back in Rotorua on Saturday 22 August! Take on mud pits, climbing walls, crawling tunnels and plenty of challenging obstacles together.

Grab the kids, rally the family and get ready to get muddy, get active and have some serious fun!

Roses are red, violets are blue, if you don’t have plans for Valentine’s Day, we have a few ideas for you. 💕

Summer event season is in full swing ☀️ Still got room in your diary? Here are some February events you won’t wanna miss 😎

Looking forward to the return....

As you may have heard, The Lakeland Queen will be launched back into Lake Rotorua next Thursday 28th at 8:00 AM — returning to her home at the jetty (after being dry docked for four years due to covid)

We warmly welcome anyone who’d like to come down and witness this special moment. However, for safety reasons, we kindly ask that everyone stays well back from the launch area and please note that we can’t have any guests onboard during the launch.

This moment has been a long time coming — we’ve been working tirelessly for the past 18 months to make this possible.

A massive thank you to all the amazing contractors, workers, and supporters who have helped us bring her back this far💙

There’s still a bit more work ahead before she’s fully back in service, but this is a huge milestone — and we couldn't have done it without you!
See you Thursday morning!

Have you been to the in the Redwoods Forest at night?

Fully immerse yourself in this unique, historical landscape – allow at least 3.5 hours. The Full Waimangu Experience includes the walk/hike and a 45 minute geothermal cruise on Lake Rotomahana to visit the sites of the lost Pink and White Terraces.

Kuirau Park is a public park situated off Lake Road just 10 minutes walk from the Rotorua`s city centre.

The park offers a chance to get up close to impressive steaming geothermal activity with well laid walking tracks.
