Rotorua has been named in the top 10 destinations in the South Pacific.
TripAdvisor's 2015 Travellers' Choice Awards has the steamy city at number 10 on its list of the top 25 places to visit in the South Pacific.
The list was topped by Queenstown, which also features in the awards' list of top 25 world destinations.
TripAdvisor said: "What happens in the bubbling mud geysers of "Rotovegas"-the area at the top of Fenton Street-stays in Rotovegas. Once you've made the most of the mud, soar nearly 2,000 feet on the Skyline Gondola for views of Lake Rotorua, then zip back down to explore the lake by paddle steamer, fishing charter or WWII amphibious vehicle."
TripAdvisor says it is the world's largest online travel community and the Travellers' Choice Destinations awards honour top travel spots worldwide based on millions of reviews and opinions from TripAdvisor travellers.
