KIA ORA! Just penned down a tested-and-true itinerary for one day in Rotorua right from this stunning New Zealand city. The experience is part of a weekend getaway, Rotorua day trip from Auckland, as September draws to a close.
If some weeks ago I was up in the sky, in my first more-than-24-hour flight, dreaming about reaching such a faraway destination, this is about another wonderful, well-spent day trip. It’s the ultimate itinerary for a day in Rotorua during winter season, beginning of spring, an almost perfect 24-hour plan put together with both efficiency and fun in mind.
Before we start, even though it might sound a bit odd talking about the end of September and the start of spring at the same time, remember, in New Zealand, the seasons are the opposite of what many of us are used to in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a cool little weather twist that makes this place even more interesting. It’s quite amazing!
Let’s dive into what makes a day in Rotorua so unforgettable!
