Hamurana Springs - a quick 15-minute drive from Rotorua - is known for its beautiful, crystal-clear fresh water springs. Our walk to the head spring took us through a wildlife sanctuary and redwood trees, and gave us a great view of trout swimming in the shallow waters. The spring is the largest in the North Island! In 1957 more than 5000 pennies dating from 1860 were recovered by skin divers and distributed by the Rotorua Jaycees to children's charities.
Beautiful!! The water is so clear and so pretty. No wonder they didn't want you bringing in any US soil on your shoes when you went through customs.
