Wai-O Tapu and Waimangu Geothermal Experience

A must do tour if you are visiting Rotorua, New Zealand. Explore the geothermal wonders at the Wai-O Tapu geothermal park and Waimangu volcanic valley.

Sculptured out of volcanic activity and thousands of years in the making, Wai-O-Tapu is considered to be New Zealand’s most colourful and diverse geothermal sightseeing attraction. You are introduced to a uniquely different natural landscape – the key to what you see lies below the surface – one of the most extensive geothermal systems in New Zealand.

At 10.15am each day there is the opportunity to learn the history and mechanics of the Lady Knox Geyser during a presentation by an informed guide in the natural ampitheatre. It provides a unique opportunity to see a geyser in eruption to heights of 10 to 20 metres.

Your visit to Wai-O-Tapu would not be complete without taking the opportunity to visit what is locally known as the Mud Pool. This was the site of a large mud volcano which was destroyed through erosion in the 1920′s.
Once you done the tours, head to the Waimangu volcanic valley a 'must do' eco experience with exciting thermal attraction and sightseeing tours include unique ecology, rare botany and fascinating geothermal features such as steaming volcanic crater lakes.

Shuttle service to Wai-O Tapu and Waimangu starts from Rotorua Visitor Centre & i-SITE every morning and afternoon.
