🇳🇿 Ultimate 2-Day Rotorua Itinerary: North Island's Must-See Gems!

(Fresh back from this "rotten-egg-scented" wonderland - now I truly understand sulfur smells!) 🌅 Day 1: Nature Walks & City Charm 1️⃣ Hamurana Springs (Cold Spring Walk) 💎 Backup plan for Blue Spring (closed til Christmas) 🕒 1hr easy hike | 💰 $18 entry (rare for NZ!) Verdict: Stunning turquoise waters + redwoods, but skip if budget-conscious 2️⃣ Rotorua City Highlights 🚡 Skyline Rotorua (weather-permitting!) 🧺 Lakefront Boardwalk - picnic paradise 🌋 Kuirau Park - free thermal foot baths (stinky but iconic!) Government Gardens - historic bathhouse-turned-museum (half under wraps) 3️⃣ Polynesian Spa 🌇 Sunset soak with lake views ⚠️ Hot tip: Hair ties = MUST unless you want sulfur-scented locks for days! 🌋 Day 2: Geothermal Thrills & Waterfall Chills 1️⃣ Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland ⏰ 9:30am arrival for Lady Knox Geyser (10:15am SHOWTIME!) 🎤 Entertaining guides + 20m explosive waterworks 3 trail options: • Scenic Route (45min) • Explorer Loop (1hr) • Adventure Trek (2-2.5hr, stair workout included!) 2️⃣ Taupō Side Trip 💦 Huka Falls - prepare for jaw-drops (even South Island veterans gasp!) ✈️ World's Coolest Macca's - dine in a REAL plane or lakeside 📍 Pro Tips: • Blue Spring reopens Dec - watch for updates! • Kuirau's free foot baths = perfect budget soak • Sulfur clings to fabrics - pack accordingly! #RotoruaGuide #GeothermalWonder #NZRoadTrip #HotSpringHeaven
