Rainbow Springs Nature Park


Today we headed to Rainbow Springs Nature Park just outside of Rotorua. The springs are famous for its trout and they act as a breeding ground, providing specific pools for the young trout to develop before release into the local lakes.




The springs also have a wildlife area with a variety of native and introduced animals including the emu.





There is also a reptile house with tuataras, and a kiwi house where it is difficult to get pictures of the kiwi due to the pitch black surroundings!
