Wai-O-Tapu

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.

It is the tour that takes you to nature. Beaucoio de minde at the Geyser, a little less for the visit of the caldera. The afternoon is great with the visit of the forest then a river with perfectly clear water
Wonderful from start to finish

Lots of things to see! One person on the tour was late to their pickup in the morning, meaning we missed the first thing on the itenerary, in order to see the timed geyser eruption, but our guide made sure we saw it at the end of the day.
Lots of natural and beautiful places

A fantastic day trip from Auckland with so many elements at such a fair price. We enjoyed each part of the trip - and the driving was smooth with enough stops and time at each spot. It's definitely a great option if you don't have enough time to spend more than a day in Rotaroa. We even had an extra coffee stop on the way back - a must for Melburnians!
Fantastic tour
