Rotorua Lakes Travel Guide

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

Rotorua’s stunning lakes – 14 of them – are a beautiful sight, and they also provide a host of leisure and adventure activities for visitors, from yachting and kayaking to trout fishing and hot springs. The sparkling waters of Lake Rotorua are a favourite for anglers in search of a tasty meal of trout. The vintage paddle-steamer Lakeland Queen offers breakfast, lunch and dinner cruises on the lake, or you can hire your own boat or kayak down at the lakefront.

Anglers can also take advantage of the superb trout streams at Ngongotaha, just 8km from Rotorua. Four of the major trout streams in the Rotorua Lakes area – Hamarana, Awahou, Waiteti and Ngongotaha – are nearby, and there are some excellent spots to settle in for a day’s leisurely fishing.
