If you are trying to buy a Christmas present for someone who has it all, why not consider a great experience for them instead. Rotorua has a huge range of amazing activities, and if you are planning on holidaying here over summer, or even driving through, a Rotorua Superpass is a great gift idea. For under $100 you can buy a unique Christmas present that will leave a lasting memory.
There is a huge range on offer from sightseeing and cultural activities such as Whakarewarewa or Skyline Rotorua Gondola, to major tourist venues like the Agrodome and Rainbow Springs, to adrenalin adventures like quad biking and jet boat rides. If you have a Mum or Dad who enjoys their history, why not get them a Tarawera Legacy Pass which includes Rotorua Museum, Buried Village and the Whakarewarewa Living Thermal Village. They can spend a leisurely day immersed in a monumental chapter of New Zealand history.
For a teenager who has all the gadgets, how about a jet boat ride combined with a parasail. They will never forget it and you could of course film them and put it up on Youtube or Facebook for all their friends to see too. Another popular choice is Velocity Valley’s Freefall Extreme: it’s the only place in the Southern Hemisphere you can fly above a wind column. It’s much more fun than a mobile phone top-up and might be the most exciting thing they do all year!
For under $50 you can put your kids in a giant ball and roll them down a hill. Zorbing is a great New Zealand innovation that will have your kids buzzing. Its just one of a number of fun family activities you can do that get your kids outdoors and active and spending quality time with you. Check our Rotorua Superpasses website for a full list of Rotorua activity passes that make exciting Christmas gifts.
