Otorohanga Travel Guide

Otorohanga accommodation, Otorohanga activities and attractions, Otorohanga maps, transportation to and around Otorohanga - the Jasons Otorohanga Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Otorohanga.

Otorohanga is an ideal place to enjoy the rural hospitality of the Waikato region. New Zealand's "kiwi town" is the closest centre for exploring the vast underground caverns of the Waitomo Caves, and it's also home to the Otorohanga Kiwi House & Native Bird Park - a vital breeding centre for the endangered kiwi bird. You can view this national icon in the park's nocturnal house, or see the many other native species housed in the outdoor enclosures. If you prefer to do your exploring below the ground, the fascinating Waitomo Caves are a just a 15-minute drive south-west of Otorohanga. These vast limestone caverns with their stalactites, stalagmites and glowworms are one of New Zealand's most famous attractions. Take a guided walking tour or set your pulses racing on a blackwater rafting, cave tubing or abseiling adventure. Above ground, there are bush walks, horse treks, garden tours and museums to keep you entertained.
