| Getting yourself around Rotorua is an exercise in simplicity. Most of the major attractions are within a few kilometres of the city - Waimangu Volcanic Valley and Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland are two of the most outlying attractions at 26 kilometres away.
With one exception, all the major hotels are within walking distance of Rotorua's city centre - five are right in the central business district.
There are shuttle services (free or nominal cost), taxis and a good city bus service. Independent tour operators are also available to take you wherever you want to go.
Within a 150 kilometre radius (two hours drive) are the surf beaches of Waihi, Mt Maunganui and Ohope; the National Parks of Tongariro and Urewera; Lake Taupo; and the cities of Hamilton, Tauranga, Taupo and Whakatane.
