When in Rotorua, and you need to move around quite a bit, as most of the attractions are quite spread out. If you do not posses a valid driver's license, there are very few public transport options, and taxis can be very costly. Please give GRUMPY LIMO (aka Rotorua city transfers) a try. I was introduced to this by a friendly staff at the visitor center. She saw me with a large suitcase and will need a good half hour walk to my motel, she suggested I give this guy Grumpy (yes, his real name!) a try. he has about 5 to 6 people working under him. They all use minibus for transportation. He can get you from anywhere to anywhere within Rotorua for NZD5 per person, regardless of the distance, and this also include airport pick ups and drop offs!
I met Grumpy the owner and he is friendly gentleman in his 60s, very punctual and caring. I was going to the Rotorua musem, he even chose a road to give me a good view of the lake before arriving in there. His number is 0800 222 141. In New Zealand, it is a free call number. He works from 8am to 6pm everyday.

The best way to travel there is to have a friend meet you at the dock and drive you there. We were so fortunate to know KIWI (Pam.) She took us around the whole day. It was wonderful.

You would think Maori land should look a little more exotic. But the hills around Rotorua are as green as the pine-covered Black Forest. Ok, not all trees are pines, and the bush is dotted with old......
