One of Rwanda's main tourist attractions in the region (Rubavu district) is the Hot Springs, which is worth a visit and a ride around the lake. Because of the sulfur from the volcano, the water is said to have a health effect by relieving stress.

The two-hour guided motorboat excursion departs from Rubavu and takes in the sightseeing and breathtaking moments on and around Lake Kivu, including birds in bushes, beaches, breathtaking views of volcanoes, fishing in the lake, and hot springs where you can get a massage. A quick walk across the peninsula for bird watching and coffee tree viewing will reward you with some time to relax before returning to Gisenyi by boat.
