We’re putting the challenge out there: visit Wai-O-Tapu and see how quickly your photos of this Thermal Wonderland become your desktop wallpaper.

New Zealand’s volcanic activity flaunts its finest form at Wai-O-Tapu. Get your camera ready because this place is picture perfect. Follow the well-marked trails through the otherworldly landscape passing New Zealand’s largest mud pool and the bubbly character called the Champagne Pool. An experience to savour, allow for around three hours to take in all there is to see. Buy a ticket to the area online or on the day. Your pass includes access to see Lady Knox Geyser in all her glory.
