- Today we're ticking off some of the best things to do in Rotorua New Zealand! Rotorua has a bunch of awesome activities, but 3 of our favourite can be found at Adventure Playground and Secret Spot...⬇ More Below ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to generate income online and travel non-stop (when we can again) geni.us/9VHNx
To classify what's officially the best things to do in Rotorua you'd have to tick off a lot of activities and tours... so we're taking on the challenge! Ok not really, but over the years (and on this trip) we've researched and ticked off loads of activities and this day was easily the combo of some of the best things to do in Rotorua that we've come across.
First stop was Adventure Playground for some 4x4 drifting in the rain, followed by some claybird shooting. The official tour we did was the 'double pass' and loved every second of it! Check out the tour on Adventure Playgrounds site here - geni.us/advent...
We then took a trip out to Secret Spot, the new cool kid in Rotorua. They're super cool cedar hot tubs tucked away in the forrest, next a running river, and was the most chill 45 minutes we could have asked for. You can see more of Secret Spot here - geni.us/secret...
Thanks to Destination Rotorua for helping us showcase these incredible experiences and promote more domestic support for tourism in New Zealand. There's so many things to do in Rotorua, you can check them all out here - geni.us/rotoruanz

Awesome series so far, just a quick question about Danegers sore back. How is it holding up with the driving ? Mine is ok but on long trips can be a pain.
Thanks! Definitely good days and bad days, the longer drives are rough but the back support seems to help! (And anti-inflammatory pills)
The sound of rain is so relaxing. I grew up listening to thunderstorms a lot, since I'm from Florida, and I always find it creates a serene environment.
Can't beat the sound of rain while you're falling asleep!
It does! So many hate rain or gloomy days, but I grew up in windy Welly, and I must say, you learn to appreciate the nicer days, but I love the rain so much!
This seems to be a very fun and interesting place I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Hope you get to visit, there is SO much to do in Rotorua!
Rotorua is great! Love the hot tubs!
Thank you for all your videos. We have just returned from New Zealand and used them to plan our trip. Thank you what a country you live in.
Dennis and Shelley UK.
Having been all the places you have been, it's good to hear that us keewees are so hospitable on the whole !!
Yeah we're pretty hospitable, if a little standoffish to begin with in general, generally we're good types
We did this in New Zealand and loved it.
Such a cool trip aye!
I really love to watch your films from NZ. I've been many of the same places and loved it. I will be back for more adventures as soon as this corona-thing is over.
The hot tub is gold!!
Your enthusiasm is absolutely adorable and also so motivating! I think I would have the same face as Stacey in the buggy, though, for sure. 🤣
Aw thank you! Haha my face definitely showed how I was feeling 😳
Absolutely loving this series, guys. Some of your best work. But every video makes me feel sad because I miss NZ so much. Greatest country and people in the world! Can't wait for the next installments! :) x
Totally agree, amazing place filled with amazing people. Glad you're still enjoying them despite the homesickness!
Amazing as always guys! Definitely think the zealand eps are going to be my favourite
They're secretly our favourite too 😁
thanks for this :) planning our nz trip next year and definitely checking out these places!
LOVE Rotorua! Can't wait to get back
Nice and super fun ! Weather is just a bonus of adventure experience. I like Stacey expression and ‘Is this for real ?!’ 🤣 Greetings from Bali !
Haha I was seriously freaking out at that point!! Sending love to Bali!
And this is how Hobbit meet the buggie! :D That second when Stacey stayed next to it(the blue one)! Priceless!
Canopy tours are awesome to!
I am loving this trip. Thanks guys
Omg i live in Rotorua 💕✨
That was such a great episode! I've been following you for a few months now and loved how much your personalities came out in this episode. Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
That's really cool to hear! We had such an awesome time filming this one, excited for you to see the rest of the series!
What an epic couple of days! Those buggies and that course were absolutely amazing and 5:45 says it all! As for the shooting, I had NOT forgotten Stacey's ninja skills with the axes in Belgium so I was totally confident that she would hit target and she did!. Then the hot tubs. You are really packing in the adventures on this trip guys :)
Glad you've got faith in here as well, she's got the skills but just doesn't even know it 🤣
Just binge watching these! It’s been 10 years since I was there but it looks just as gorgeous and I completely agree the kiwis couldn’t be nicer!! Can’t wait to get back, and this time show my children 😍
No doubt your children will love it! Especially Rotorua, there's SO much cool stuff to do there :)
I agree New Zealand is the friendliest place I have been, beats even Fiji hands down! Love my cousie bro neighbours!
OMG this looks so fun! What an epic 2 days on this vlog. Seeing the smiles and laughter on both of your faces has made this one of my favorites so far. I want to try this someday! And Dane - hope your back is not too sore from this! I hope Stace heals quickly from her bruise too! 👍
Genuinely had so much fun filming this one! Hope you get to try out these activities 😁Aw thank you, we're both doing great.
Wonderful vlog! What an adventure!
So cool
What epic adventures... Stacey I am so with you on the shooting.... It's the recoil that gets you. Wow... That cedar hot tub... We have been to Rotorua a couple of times and done hot springs but that is awesome. And you are right about the Kiwi hospitality.... And you are definitely both in that category... Cheers from Kayleen 🇦🇺 down under ❤️
The recoil is intense! I knew it was going to be but daaaaamn! Hopefully on your next trip you can visit these hot tubs and do the sea plane!
Loving the vlog guys, my wife and I had our honeymoon travelling NZ in a motorhome way back in 2005 and the vlogs bring back happy memories especially the activities. Looking forward to the rest of your journey.
What an awesome way to spend your honeymoon! So happy our vids are bringing back good memories for you 😁
Excellent thank you, great presentation and cool camera work :)
Have been so looking forward to the next installment... thanks for a speedy posting
You're welcome! Just posted the sea plane vlog this morning too :)
@@DanegerAndStacey what an adventure!!! beautiful instas too
Wow what a great video. this is a type of content we really need right now! thanks always for sharing such a beautiful experiences with us
Thank you for watching 😁
Man i love you guys!! One of the few RUclips couples I’d love to get a pint with.
That's the ultimate compliment for us 🍻You sound like someone we'd grab a pint with too!
I am flying from Denmark to New Zealand in October. I'm going on a road trip from Auckland to Christchurch from 27 October to 19 november. Your videos are giving me alot of ideas of what to do in the places i have planned to visit!
So happy to hear that! Enjoy
I love this. :)
This video is my favourite so far! I’m probably gunna change my opinion each time, but 🤷🏻♀️😂 the hot tub cinematography was beautiful, especially with the sounds put behind it. You guys are showing New Zealand in such a fun action packed but also beautiful and relaxing way. ♥️ I’m so in love 🥰
That's what we do everytime we edit a new one 😂 every video is currently our favourite! That's so kind of you to say, we're so happy you're enjoying these videos!
I’ve been to Adventure Playground, it’s amazing how close it is to main population. Super convenient if you’re staying in Rotorua and great fun.
Isn't it epic! We had the best day there :)
Need to do this asap
This is so amazing! Will def try this out soon! Thanks! ❤
You gotta do it - so epic!
Have been to Rotorua a few times but haven't done any of those activities. Looked like you guys had fun. Keep enjoying!
We were the same! Visited loads of times but this was our first time at Adventure Playground, well worth a visit (even in the rain!)
Stacy reminds me at one point probably 6minutes in of the ads for Toyota years ago with Scotty and his shocked eyes...
Nice video😊👍
Great vlog full of adrenaline and relaxation! Looking forward to the seaplane!
Thanks guys, hope you enjoy the sea plane vlog - just went up this morning :)
Stacey your face when he stops. I'm dying lol!!!!
😂😂😂 Just happy to be alive ya know
New Zeland very nice people
I really want to go there!!!
Totally worth it!
The prettiest clay shooting range ever.
Isn't it cool! Never seen one in the forest like this!
You guys are truly gifted storytellers. Your authenticity shines through the camera. Cheers from the USA! PS: I Love Ugly is one of my favorite brands haha
This comment made our day! That's really nice to hear, thank you. Oh how good is ILU, one of Danes faves as well!
Another great vlog! COVID has made us all tourists in our own backyards!
Tempted to try attempt number two for a lil short break here in NZ, my birthday trip was put on hold due to covid, but your video has reminded me that there is still tonz of things to do in NZ.
Sorry to hear about your birthday trip! Such a shame it was cancelled but it's definitely worth another attempt!
New Zealand is where my husband & I are planning on heading to for about 4 months when we retire, gonna buy a small motorhome to see it all.
That sounds like an awesome plan!
Dane, your back! That looked like so much fun but ouch 😟
I know 🙈 Definitely not the most ideal activities for his back! Oopsieeessss
Watching this series keenly like everything else you two have made.
Curious what the outro music is at the end of your videos. I could listen to that on loop for hours. Please let me know.
Glad you're enjoying! Here's the song on Spotify, it's Always by Utah: open.spotify.com/track/5QooiR76zoHBm5PpjQtSOZ?si=n0YirvnJS9iuoLMluCM-fQ
I'm more jealous of the tub time than the "adventure" day :D But still want to do both!!!
Oh the tub time was definitely needed after this action packed day!
Love your videos !
Was wondering what video camera do you guys use ?
Your guild ihaia is a guy I went to poly tech with years back kinda lost touch with him cool to see he's still in Rotorua
No way! NZ is such a small place 😂 He was an awesome guide!
This was a good watch 🙂 Rotorua's my home town, born and breed. Ive done all these activities too, looks like you's had fun 👌🏽
There's some epic things going on aye. Is it common to tick them all off when you live there? Probably heaps of stuff in Auckland we haven't done
@@DanegerAndStacey yeah for sure, and well with me and my mate's we have done everything you can here in Rotorua. Not to sure if it's a common thing to do though aye
Ayyyy i live in Rotorua bro
Yeeeooow
😍😍
lol public safety announcement - if you're going to "secret spot" with the fancy hot tubs, make sure you get directions from their website - the place originally known as 'secret spot' in rotorua is a natural hot spring popular for clothing optional swimming in nature (it isn't lewd or anything, but just fair warning if you're confused about where you're going)
Oh we had no idea this was a thing 🤣 glad we didn't show up to film in the clothing optional secret spot...
I wonder if trail shoes with Gore-Tex would have saved your feet from getting soaked in the buggy... :/
Did look fun though... :)
Sitting, and soaking in that hot-tub would be amazing about now... (!)
:)
YES! Gore-Tex would've been a lifesaver in this situation. Really didn't expect the puddles to be that deep 🤣 worth the soaking shoes though!
Can you give me the location or the name of the place you guys tried shooting?I am really lookingforward to try it after watching your wonderful video.
Adventure Playground :)
Sorry to NZ... but my next trip will back to my favorite place... Thailand...
I don't think NZ will mind... Have fun in Thailand
New Zealand isn't much. Just kidding. It's been awesome so far!
Haha you got us for a second there!
if i didn't know better..i might have thought you guys were set up by some tourism agency
Just us :) With the help of Destination Rotorua on this one!
How much is for gun shooting?? Pls
Check the Adventure Playground website - they have different packages.
It's a hard life isn't it Dane. Being 'forced' to go on all these adventures with a beautiful lady. One question. Why didn't Stacey get to drive the buggy
Haha no complaints from him! I didn't really want to drive to be honest, then once I worked up the courage at the end I didn't have time 😂 maybe next time!
Love you girl
Haha thanks!
Kaboom ,
🤣
Dan why you make poor Stacey so dangerous? You made her real warrior, now she can throw pix, and shoot....i am afraid what can happen when she gets angry!
Haha you don't wanna know....
God is coming back soon pls all repent
Who?
Going on a Buggy through the wilderness in so much fun. did it when I went to Vanuatu on a cruise trip 2 years ago. Was one of the best things I have ever experienced on a list of things I've done like bungee jumping and jet boating back home in Taupo, Aotearoa ( NZ ) and sky diving here in Australia. Watching your guys trips makes me miss travelling a lot
Sounds like you've had some epic adventures as well! We've not bungee jumped, think that's about the only extreme thing we're not sold on.. and I definitely won't be doing now with my back problems either!
oh yes been watching Rotorua videos lately, make us want to visit more and more! NZ def is in our bucket list.
That's awesome! Hope you can make the visit sometime, it's a special place :)
Even though the weather wasn’t on your side, you seemed to have enjoyed your buggy trip a lot. I’d have too.
It was awesome! And the rain actually made it even more fun in the mud :)
I've lived in NZ (Wellington, Auckland) while on a working holiday visa. Tried to stay in NZ afterward but, long story short, an employment offer fell through. Life happens, but I'm now back in the US (Texas). It seems like the US has been on a steady decline of "losing our soul" since about 9/11, whereas NZ has become more prosperous and optimistic since the early '90s - and that's seemingly reflected in "Kiwi hospitality." Meanwhile, I get to live vicariously through y'all. Thank you.
Gutted to hear it fell through for you, how different life could have been!
@UCzLGrJOeEHCBYSXu-O6JJ7Q Ahhh we hear you there, it's all about the coffee haha! Glad to hear life is still great in the US for you :)
Awesome vid looks so fun the way y’all expressed during the activities. Great Vlog been loving y’all channel keep it up 👍
So happy you've been enjoying the videos, this was such a fun one to film!
What a beautiful place👏👏👏
You kids have so much fun! I love it! Enjoy life!
Coolest video of the series yet! Loved it, amazing!
Seriously love you two!!! Hubby and me considering getting motorhome and just live it up!!
DOOOO IT!! You won't regret it! Sending love right back at ya! 😊
ur amazing editing guys, is what has captured my attention. I knocked off work 8pm,.. binge watching ur vids and its now 10pm and Im still watching on...lol
Yesss!! Love hearing that 🙌🏻
Stacy's look was priceless
Haha IS THIS FOR REAL?!
Such epic experiences in Rotorua
Yup - there's so much to do there!
I want to visit all the beautiful places in New Zealand someday 💕. Please do more New Zealand Vids ✌
We will! Lots more to come
Im from Rotorua i love it here its so beautiful you guys looked like you had so much fun 😊
It's a cool place huh, so much going on and so many more chill places to easily reach out of town 😀
Amazing
We were in Rotorua in January. Loved the place. Hoping to return in the next year (we are from Australia). Definitely going to do the buggy & shooting next time . Then onto the South Island.😃.
It's awesome isn't it! There's SO much to do in Rotorua, we loved it too. Hope you get to come back and try out the buggies & shooting, so much fun!!
Oh my gosh, you two will love Louisiana. Your firearm skills are epic. So fun to watch. Also, what we call "4 wheeling" style is so Louisiana gulf coast off road living :)
You two are clearly having a fantastic time, as we are watching 😊
Thanks for this share guys. Excited for the next. Stay safe, James and Kim
Danes firearm skills are epic... mine definitely need some work haha! We always look forward to your comments and insights on where else we might like in the world! Thanks for watching guys 😁
Thumbnail was hilarious looking. Beautiful surroundings and the spa! Great video!
Haha one of our new favourite photos in the thumbnail! Thank you!
Wauw🤩🤩🤩🤩 looks Amazing. The car going from one side to other.( hope your back ok after that )The hut tub afterwards well deserved 😜
Lookforward to your next adventures take care .
The hot tub definitely helped ease the aches and pains afterwards!
I can't believe Danegar, with the broken bone in his back, did the buggy ride!!!😮
🙊 Don't tell his doctor!
Stacey’s face 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰. Yes rain is so calming and relaxing 😌
Haha 😳 sums up exactly how I was feeling!!
You wouldn't want to be flying Jerome around during the clay bird shooting 😂
😂😂😂 would make for some great footage but don't think he'd survive in the shooting range!
I loved the axe throwing video! I'm proud of you Stacey, I would be really nervous too 💖
Aww thanks Angie ❤️ It's probably just a normal thing for people from other countries but I've literally never held a gun before, was so surprised how heavy it was!
Dane, all I could think about was your back! But, at the same time, so much fun!
Definitely not the most ideal activities for his back but it was too much fun to pass up!
The mudding reminded me of your Cook Islands vlog! Looked ridiculously fun! Daneger was just channeling his inner Formula 1. 😉 How did his back feel afterwards?
YESSS!! Was just like Raro, only the buggies were 1,000 times better here! His back was okay, the spa afterwards definitely helped ease the aches and pains!
@@DanegerAndStacey glad the spa helped his back! It definitely looked like a fabulous day!
I love clay shooting. I was in the UK military for 6 years as a gunner and I loved when we got the chance to shoot clays. Looked like a superb adventure day. Defo getting travel envy sitting in Scotland 🤣🤣👍👍
I bet my attempt at shooting was hard to watch for you then 😂
Daneger and Stacey 🤣🤣 not at all both done very well hitting the targets. It’s not easy and they move fast. 👍👍. It’s great fun.
Awesome adventure guys !!!!!
Loving every minute of it!
