Bubbling mud pools, sky-high geysers and steaming, hissing earth make Rotorua a must-see volcanic wonderland. New Zealand sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and there's nowhere better to experience the full force of Mother Nature than here.

From the classic fish and chips, to barbecued prawns, you’ll have a blast sampling all the different seafood. Don’t forget to try the crayfish in New Zealand… It’s mouthwatering stuff.
Calling all ice cream fans! You’ll love the Hokey Pokey flavour in New Zealand, made with plain vanilla ice cream dotted with small lumps of sweet, caramel-y honeycomb toffee. The locals gorge on millions of litres of Hokey Pokey ice cream, and it’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot summer’s day… Or any day.
While no one can quite agree on whether pavlova originated in Australia or New Zealand, we do know that this unique dessert is delicious. It’s made with whipped egg whites that are baked until chewy on the outside and marshmallow-soft on the inside, and topped with everything from whipped cream to fresh berries. Light and sweet, it’s just like Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballerina it was named after!
