Rotorua Sights

  1. Te Whakarewarewa

    This is Rotorua's largest and best-known thermal reserve, and a major Maori cultural area. It's pronounced 'fa-ka-re-wa-re-wa' - most simply call it 'Whaka'. Its most spectacular geyser is Pohutu (Big Splash or Explosion), an active geyser that erupts between 10 and 20 times a day. Pohutu spurts hot water about 20-30m into the air.
