Rainbow Springs Nature Park, Rotorua

A must go

I have been before and its been good for kids. The day we went 3 of the 4 "passes" were unavailable but this wasn't on their website from what we saw. Would have been good to be aware of prior to going. I should have realised when carpark was fairly empty and people were walking in then back out fairly quickly.

Seen the beautiful kiwi birds in the grow chambers, nice walk around the park. Had a great time with the family.

We visited towards the beginning of our trip and although we saw some places like it after, none were as authentic or high quality as Rainbow Springs. Luckily someone who had traveled here before told us about this as it not to be missed. The Kiwi hatchery was amazing. It was heartwarming to see the baby kiwis in the incubators and being hand fed. Tour size is limited, booked in advanced, and well worth it! We did the Big Splash several times which was fun, and we took the guided tour of the park. The gift shop had all of the items you could want as souvenirs and many items have a portion donated to the park and hatchery. It feels you are making a difference when you visit here. It was a lovely day and experience that will be remembered as one of the highlights of our trip.

Was the best experience ever and the staff was so friendly your guide was the best 💪🏿🇿🇦
