Kuirau Park

Kuirau Park

Located in the northern part of Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty region, Kuirau Park is a well-known public geothermal park in the city and an important site for exploring geothermal activity. The park is full of life, with lush trees, bubbling lakes, and serene pathways that transport visitors to a stunning hidden paradise.

Kuirau Park has no noise, no commotion, and no stress—only tranquility, serenity, and harmony. Its crisscrossing walking trails allow visitors to explore areas with frequent geothermal activity through quiet paths to witness astonishing geothermal phenomena. There are also volcanoes in the park that erupt intermittently and quite frequently. Exercise caution while viewing them, as areas marked with warning signs are extremely dangerous and should be avoided. One of the park’s features is Lake Tahu, which constantly bubbles and is surrounded by steam, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere.

With its tranquil pathways, steaming geothermal features, and hissing geothermal activity, this public park offers a perfect destination to explore the wonders of nature and admire its beauty—a must-visit.
