EXPLORE THE LAKES OF ROTORUA Welcome to the North Island Lakes District. The 18 sparkling lakes and three major rivers dotted around Rotorua make the area a water lover’s paradise. Take it all in while relaxing in a hot pool along the lake’s edge, or explore the lakes at length, discovering glow worm caves and fresh water springs by kayak or stand-up paddle board.
LAKE TIKITAPU Also known as the Blue Lake, Tikitapu is one of the most popular places in Rotorua for water sports. Whether you’re keen to get in or on the water – or both – Tikitapu is the perfect choice for its crystal-clear water, perfect picnic spots, boat ramp and playground.
LAKE ROTOITI Lake Rotoiti offers plenty of safe places to take the kids for some time in the water. Dropping off gradually in depth, the less confident swimmers will have a blast playing in the shallows. Between the lake and the playground at the end of Tamatea Street, the young ones will be entertained for hours.
