Walk around the streets of Rotorua (around waters edge) and see steam rising out of everywhere - peoples gardens, storm water drains etc - great way to get the impression of how ordinary peoples lives live side by side with the thermal action!!

Mountain biking in Rotorua is amazing!!!! The Redwoods have heaps of tracks of varing difficulty and are easy to navigate around. There are lots of places where you can rent bikes from. There is even a shuttle to bring you to the top.
