Here's a few Ideas

• Take a Lunch or Dinner Cruise on Lake Rotorua to Mokoia the Sacred Island
  This Island in the middle of lake Rotorua, steeped in culture and history is both an iconic and historic landmark of Rotorua dating back to a time around 1350 AD. Fringed with pohutukawa trees, a sanctuary to many of NZ’s endangered wildlife and crowned with natural bush, Mokoia has a spiritual sense that can only be experienced the moment you set foot there.
