8. Rotorua
The city was created as a future resort, so today, natural attractions and the healing properties of local waters attract tourists from all over the world. The Rotorua mineral springs on the North Island are a large area of natural springs, pools, and mud geysers that you can enjoy splashing.
Then, after you’ve had your fill of them, you get to ride on a cable gondola for a spectacular aerial view of the area. This one of the best places to visit in New Zealand, also offers a show of the indigenous Maori tribes with stories about the life of the tribe, national songs, and dances.
