Wai-O-Tapu Morning Experience with Transfers

Journey into one of New Zealand's most extraordinary geothermal landscapes on a hosted morning experience to Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland.

Following collection from selected Rotorua accommodation, travel through the volcanic heart of the region with a knowledgeable local host who shares stories of the area's unique geology, history and cultural significance.

Arrive in time to witness the famous Lady Knox Geyser, an impressive geothermal eruption reaching heights of up to 20 metres, before enjoying a relaxing morning tea.

Your experience continues with a guided walk through Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, where you'll discover vibrant mineral terraces, steaming craters, bubbling mud pools and colourful geothermal formations unlike anywhere else in New Zealand. Every step reveals the incredible natural forces that continue to shape this remarkable landscape.
