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!
