The Mud Pool at Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, near Rotorua, is one of New Zealand's most active geothermal features. It consists of bubbling, boiling mud created by underground geothermal activity. The thick, grey mud constantly bubbles due to the release of volcanic gases, offering a fascinating display of nature’s raw power. The Mud Pool sits in a crater formed by a volcanic eruption and is a popular attraction for visitors interested in geothermal phenomena.

5.00Great day long nature focused adventure! Not an insane amount of walking - 30-45 minutes walks per activity and guide went at our pace, we never felt rushed! He was very knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of tour guide talk.
Very good experience

5.00We had a great experience on this tour. The pace was relaxed, and there was plenty of time at each stop to explore, take in the scenery, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. The guide was informative and shared lots of interesting local knowledge throughout the day, which added to the overall experience. Everything was well organized, and it was a nice way to see the area while learning more about its history and culture. A solid tour that offers a good balance of sightseeing, free time, and information.

5.00Such a great tour. This was my favorite tour we booked. It is fast paced. You see so much but be ready to walk to see it all. Views of a lifetime.
Amazing day

5.00This trip, guided by Mr. Soloman, was much more satisfactory than I could imagine. Mr. Soloman is a truly ice breaker and equivalently, we happened to have two more solo travelers who were also open minded and could talk and commingle well. The entire trip was a long day and I really enjoyed the geothermal attraction and red woods, especially the vibes walking peacefully within forests. Blue springs look beautiful but you know, we could find a lot of matching scenes in my hometown China. What makes blue springs stand out are the traveling experiences, organized and relaxing ppl around you and wide-spread farmland with wildlife’s.

5.00Kawal was a really lovely guide- I wasn't expecting the tour to be so small (the 2 of us traveled in a White Tesla), but it was tailored just to our needs and Kawal always checked in with us to make sure we saw what we needed and had enough time to enjoy each stop.
The trip is very well...
