inhale deeply, and take in the indigenous bush, ferns, trees and plants that grow and blossom all around you as you stroll through the tree lined pathways at Rainbow Springs Nature Park in Rotorua.  Take pleasure in the tranquility of the crystal clear mineral water that flows tirelessly from the bottomless springs all through the park.

Marvel at the silent grace of the outstanding specimens of Rainbow, Brown and Tiger trout and feed them as they cruise the fern-fringed pools.  Hear the busy bush flora and fauna, and meet the curious species of indigenous birds on exhibit. 

Find out the preservation efforts undertaken at Rainbow Springs to make sure the longevity of natives and learn what you can do to help.  Observe live kiwi foraging for food in a intimately simulated natural environment.  Come back at night time to view them up close in an open-air enclosed space under the stars. Gaze in awe at the astonishing Redwoods and come face to face with our very own living dinosaur – the tuatara.
