Hamurana Springs and Tarawera Falls

Hamurana Springs was our final stop in Rotorua, following our visits to the Redwoods Treewalk, Kuirau Park, and geothermal attractions.

This walk through Maori-owned land is incredibly beautiful, and the waters are a surreal colour.

Our next stop was Tarawera Falls, halfway between Rotorua and Taupo. These falls are vastly underrated by travel guides and are a must see in the North Island.

We spent several hours there, photographing and flying our drone through this fantastic landscape. It is by far one of the most incredible waterfalls I have ever seen.

Below are some of my favourite images of both these locations.

Kuirau Park

Rotorua was the first stop on our North Island Roadtrip. Although the whole city is spectacular and surrounded by incredible sites of geothermal activity, there was one place that stood out as being vastly underrated.

Kuirau Park lies at the heart of the city, and offers incredible photographic opportunities less than a 10 minute drive from anywhere in central Rotorua.

Unusually for Rotorua, this is an area over which drones can be flown. The aerial view of the park is nothing short of spectacular.

Below are some of my favourite images from this location. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
