There is plenty to do in the region, and while there are organised tours, it can work out cheaper and definitely more convenient to hire a vehicle to go exploring in.
This is especially true if you've got a family in tow.
There is nothing worse than paying for your whole family to take a day trip somewhere and then having a melt down from one of your children because they have had enough.
If you've got your own Rotorua car hire you can escape when your children get tired, and create a schedule that best suits the needs of everyone.
So what's worth doing in Rotorua over summer? Well rather a lot really! For starters it's the perfect time to go exploring some of the amazing natural attractions.
This thermal wonderland is full of unique sights and smells.
There is bubbling mud, steaming water and geysers.
You can also enjoy some of the wildlife at Rainbow Springs.
Pop along during the day and then use your Rotorua car hire to go back after dark to see the Kiwi out in full force.
New Zealand's bird life is pretty diverse and interesting, and this is a unique opportunity to see this iconic New Zealand bird in its natural environment.
Of course, if you are an adrenalin junkie you may prefer to take yourself and your travelling buddies to some of the more heart thumping attractions.
There is plenty to do, from a bungy jump at Agroventures, to rolling down a hill in a Zorb, to luging down a steep mountain.
Agroventures offers a courtesy shuttle twice a day from the centre of town, so if some of the family want to go relax at one of the mineral pools, while the others try out a bungy jump, this can be the perfect solution.
Rotorua lakes are breathtakingly beautiful during the summer months.
Often described as the Lakes District of the North Island, there are plenty to visit including: Lake Rotoiti, Rotoehu & Rotoma.
Trout fishing is also popular in Rotorua and having your own transportation means that you drive your way around the popular fishing lakes at your own leisure.
You can also get out on the water with an organised cruise, or hire some kayaks and enjoy a little exploring of the lakesides.
Even just preparing a picnic to eat alongside a lake or one of the rivers is a perfect way to spend your day.
All you need is a vehicle from a Rotorua car hire company and you're set.
