As you exit Rotorua Airport you may notice a distinct smell that hangs in the air. It’s a smell that lies somewhere between eggs and sulphur. And, no. It’s not what you’re thinking. This distinct smell serves as your welcome to New Zealand’s most geothermally active city.
Once you become acquainted with Rotorua’s unique musk, it’ll quickly fade into the background and you’ll enjoy all of the wonderful things this city has on offer.
Rotorua is a picturesque city that delights travellers of every kind. With an array of cultural and adrenaline-based activities to get stuck into, Rotorua is the perfect place to experience what makes New Zealand one of the world’s most unique travel destinations.
With minimal transport options from the airport to the city, a hire car will give you the flexibility and freedom to explore Rotorua at your own pace.
