Introduction

Rainbow Springs Nature Park was established in 1932 and covers 135 acres of lush forest. Visitors can enjoy natural, crystal clear springs in the vicinity. Tickets are valid for a whole day, allowing multiple entries, and even night entry. Those who are tired of daytime activities can enjoy a night tour, especially the Big Splash water slide. The park is an ideal place to observe native New Zealand plants such as kauri and ferns, as well as other plants. Visitors can also see various native New Zealand birds such as kea, kaka, honeyeaters, weka, and rainbow trout. They can also observe tuatara, the only living species of reptiles known to have survived since the dinosaur era, and nocturnal animals' performances both day and night.
