  • Kuirau Park
    This area of Rotorua is literally a hot bed of geothermal activity, with steaming lakes and bubbling mud pools. A visit to the foot bathing area lets you enjoy the warm waters that naturally occur throughout the region. Take a walk through the park to see the steaming lakes and the location of the last eruption here on 2001.
  • Sulphur Point
    We make a stop here on the edge of Lake Rotorua to see the effect the geothermal activity has on the lake, right in the heart of Rotorua. A popular spot for many of the native birds that also enjoy the warm waters created by the outflows from the nearby geysers and hot water springs.
  • Government Gardens
    We make a stop in the Government Gardens, location of the Rotorua Bathhouse and Museum, the Blue Baths and the naturally occurring Rachel's Spring, source of the geothermal water for the Polynesian Spa. Chance for some great photos and to walk through the extensive flower displays.
  • Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest
    Take a walk on suspended walkways high up in the amazing Redwood Forest in Rotorua, easily accessed by a spiral ramp.
