It was the first Maori landfall and is a base for big-game fishing, observing dolphins, jet-boating, white-water rafting, hunting, hiking, paragliding, kayaking and trout fishing. The town offers an historic walk and the only waterfall to found in the centre of any town in New Zealand. Quick tips/suggestions For the ultimate adventure, head to White Island, a continuously active volcano where sulphur lipped fumaroles and roaring steam vents create a stark wonderland. Other alternatives are the Aquatic Centre or the museum and gallery. If there's a place you've stayed or something you've done, but we haven't listed, review it for us!
