Experience Geothermal Wonders and Hot Tub Bliss in Rotorua

Rotorua is known for its striking geothermal wonders, and Wai-O-Tapu is one of the most dramatic. Here, you’ll find bubbling mud pools, steaming vents and colourful hot springs that create a surreal, almost alien-like environment. The Champagne Pool, Devil’s Bath and Lady Knox Geyser are just a few of the iconic sights that make this geothermal park unforgettable.

Wandering through Wai-O-Tapu is like stepping into another world, where nature’s power and artistry combine in vibrant displays. The geothermal activity has shaped the land into spectacular formations, with each pool and geyser offering its own unique character. It’s an experience that leaves visitors with a deeper appreciation of Rotorua’s natural beauty.
