Visit a living Maori village like the Whakarewarewa Thermal Village and gain insight into the resident\u2019s daily lives and how they use natural boiling hot geothermal pools for their everyday needs. A daily Cultural Performance that pays tribute to the Maori ancestors is a must-watch and a favourite with the kids, certain to leave a lasting memory.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another fun activity is the Skyline Rotorua with gondola rides and luge tracks of varying difficulty. If your child is aged under six, don\u2019t worry \u2014\u00a0they can be accompanied by an adult on the gentle luge track.\u00a0This will still create lots of squeals and thrills, and more importantly, a great bonding moment for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The region is also a haven for those who love a lakeside getaway, and there are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookabach.co.nz\/holiday-accommodation\/p7687472\">relaxing homes with water views<\/a> to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Families can take a gentle walking or cycling trail along the Huka Falls (New Zealand\u2019s most-visited natural attraction), kayak across Lake Taupo or revel in a jet boat ride across the Waikato River. For an adults-only adrenaline rush, leave the kids (who will be secretly happy with a break) in your holiday home with the grandparents, and choose between white-water rafting or skydiving at 18,000 feet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Tip: Taupo is a great place for \u201ccele-cations\u201d with the whole family.
