What you can expect

  • Discover the extraordinary geothermal wonders of Wai-O-Tapu, one of New Zealand’s most iconic attractions. Just outside Rotorua, this natural attraction has been shaped by thousands of years of volcanic activity, creating a unique world of geothermal features. Walk at your own pace along well-maintained tracks that lead you past some of the world’s most incredible landscapes.

    Marvel at the iconic Champagne Pool, a deep hot spring with orange and green edges, and visit the Artist’s Palette and Devil’s Bath. Each feature is naturally formed and constantly changing due to ongoing geothermal activity, offering a rare chance to witness the power and beauty of the earth in motion. With three walking loops of varying lengths, you can choose how much time to spend exploring this unforgettable thermal landscape.

    Don’t miss the daily eruption of the Lady Knox Geyser at 10:30am, reaching up to 10–20 metres into the air. The visitor centre also offers helpful information, a café, and facilities to enhance your visit. Wai-O-Tapu is a must-see for everyone visiting Rotorua.
