ROTORUA: KIWI HATCHERY, KUIRAU PARK & ROTORUA MUSEUM /// NEW ZEALAND TRAVEL VLOG

Rotorua is one of the must-visit places in New Zealand. It's famous for geothermal valleys, extreme activities, Māori culture, beautiful scenery, parks, history, food and lots of other things. Rotorua is often called 'Rotovegas' and there is a reason for that. Watch our travel vlog to discover the attractions of this amazing part of New Zealand and start planning your visit!

Rotorua is located 3 hours drive from Auckland, 5.5 hours from Wellington and just a short one hour drive from Tauranga. We've been to Rotorua on several occasions and have quite a handful of videos about this region, make sure to click on the link in video or below. There is so much to see!

Every time we come to Rotorua, we try to see something we haven't seen before. So during this visit, we decided to see Rotorua Museum and Government Gardens, Kuirau Park and the National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa located in Rainbow Springs Park. And it was enough to make us occupied for the whole day and not to get super tired afterwards.

Rotorua Museum is a gorgeous historic building located in the very heart of the city. Unfortunately, it's closed to the public at the moment due to reconstruction and strengthening. But you can enjoy its architecture from outside while visiting the Government Gardens. It is a beautiful place to have a walk, to read a book on a bench or to do a picnic. There are also free guided tours available at 11am and 1pm if you would like to learn more about the history of this place.

Kuirau Park is a local geothermal park. It is very beautiful and there is a nice walkway. It will take you through the park, so you can see steaming ponds and mud pools, and take lots of pictures. If you're in Rotorua on Saturday morning, make sure to check Kuirau Park Farmers Market - there are lots of amazing local producers and food trucks for you to discover. Another cool activity to do in Kuirau Park is to have a dip in Foot Bath. There are two located near the main carpark.

Rotorua is also home for one of the most amazing parks - Rainbow Springs. A very special facility is located there - the National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa. This is the place where you can see small kiwi birds - just a couple of days old. There is also a nocturnal house where you can see a grown-up kiwi bird and learn more about these amazing birds. Guided tours are available (please check working days and hours on their website, they are not open every day).
