Rotorua was first discovered 600 years ago by a maori explorer named Ihenga. He was out hunting one day when one of his dogs disappeared chasing after a kiwi. The dog returned some time later with his coat wet, having eaten a meal of fish. Ihenga realised he must be close to water, so he searched until he discovered Lake Rotoiti and later, Rotorua. Te Arawa people arrived on the Arawa canoe in the mid-14th century, having travelled from Hawaiki, the legendary home of all Maori in Eastern Polynesia (Hawaiki). They moved inland and settled in the Rotorua and Taupo-National Park area. The Te Arawa Maori of Rotorua began hosting visitors as far back as the nineteenth century. That is when people came from all over the world to see the Pink and White Terraces at Lake Rotomahana.
