Rotorua Thrill Rides

The North New Zealand town of Rotorua is a bubbling hot bed of activity – both literally and figuratively. For visitors to soak in the unique features of this town, a quality Rotorua hotel is the way to go for an ideal base in the city. The Millennium Hotel Rotorua is an ideal hotel in Rotorua that features stunning views of the rugged countryside as well as stylish interiors and amenities that pamper guests with unparalleled hospitality. Rotorua has long been a spa and resort town since the 1800s, primarly due to the geothermal activity simmering beneath the landscape, and it is a famous tourist hot spot. For adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers, Rorotua offers one-of-a-find thrill rides using a range of vehicles and technology designed to get the heart racing and grins flashing. Embark on an exciting off-road adventure in a massive 4×4 through dense jungle terrain. With a professional guide at your back, experience steep descents and climbs, encounter messy mud pits and artful tactical bends as you test your limits as a driver! Then try to navigate the truck through a bridge of poles over a creek…how will you get over this? Or, for a bumpy ride that’s tonnes of fun for all ages over 14, go raceline karting that is a true test of ability and courage on New Zealand’s longest A-rated kartsport circuit. Experience the adrenaline rush as the cart goes up to speeds of 100km/h and you jostle for position with the other racers and feel the g-force kick in as you turn that tight corner. It’ll really test your concentration, skill and speed reflexes! Or, take a quad bike ride and experience New Zealand’s scenic landscape in a way you’ve never seen before! Lake Rorotua and the amazing bush trails look completely different when you’re racing past them on the back of a quad bike! Or if you want to experience thrills as a family, then take the Rotorua Duck Tour, which takes you across Rotorua’s sights onboard a WW2 amphibious “duck” through land and sea. Check out Lake Rotorua, Sulphur, The Museum, Blue Baths, Mokoia Island and various points of geothermal interest. The excursion goes on through the stunning lake region where you’ll get to experience the “Duck’s” amphibious qualities as it SPLASHES DOWN on Lake Tikitapu and Lake Okareka before going on to a quaint little mountainside township where you’ll be treated to spectacular views of Mt. Tawawera. So whatever thrill ride you prefer, Rotorua delivers a fantastic range of excitement!
