Itinerary introduction:

Afterwards, we will go to the Redwood Forest. New Zealanders planted more than 170 different kinds of trees in the Redwood Forest, hoping to find out which kind of tree is the most suitable for New Zealand, especially for the geothermal-rich region of Rotorua. Of these 170 species of trees, one third have survived and the Redwood Forest is now a great place for walking or mountain biking.
[Lake Rotorua] Lake Rotorua is the third largest lake in New Zealand. About 200,000 years ago, a huge volcanic eruption occurred in this area, and after the eruption, a magma chamber collapsed under the Rotorua area. The collapse created a circular crater 16 kilometres wide, which filled with rainwater to form Lake Rotorua. Visit Rotorua and then visit the Government Gardens where you can walk along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the unique air of Rotorua.
