Share great experiences with friends!
Rotorua is home to some of New Zealand’s most incredible natural landscapes, due to it’s geothermal activity, while also having some of the island’s most important history – Hamurana Springs is one of the best places to discover both, in a fantastic combination of remarkable nature and fascinating history!
Connect with nature in a scenic walk through this largely untouched park and wildlife refuge in an experience that will truly bring you in touch with New Zealand’s spirit. The Maori natives of Rotorua have connected with this land as far back as the 1300’s, originally a tribal settlement for the ancestors of those who now maintain the surrounding park lands. Explore tranquil nature and culture walking trails, where you’ll discover a range of important Maori monuments and the deepest natural freshwater spring in the North Island!
You can journey at your own pace in the self-guided trial, admiring the natural scenery, engaging with local wildlife and discovering cultural stories. Alternatively, take a guided tour by a descendant of the tribe who migrated to the park all those centuries ago, sharing traditional Maori practices, stories and knowledge passed down to them over hundreds of years while showing you the beauty of the reserve.
