Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland

Geopark, a little characteristic, the place is not big, the scenery is OK. Also belongs to the place that will not go again if you go once.

The world-famous geothermal park, although it cannot be compared with the Yellowstone Park in the United States, the scenery is also very beautiful. The geothermal fountain is very spectacular, colorful, and the air is filled with a smell of sulfur.

The Waiotapu Geothermal Wonderland is Rotorua’s most famous geothermal landscape. The middle-aged smoky and thick geothermal heat emits white smoke from the ground. It feels like being in a fairyland. The lakes here are mostly yellow-green. , Very different, because the lake is full of sulfur and other minerals, so it forms such a peculiar landscape.

This is a very special New Zealand attraction, really like a fairyland, a variety of geothermal pools, breathtaking. Come here to experience the geothermal landscape, marvel at nature's magical craft is a different experience.

Yes, booking tickets with Ctrip is very convenient and fast. Cheaper than on-site, highly recommended! It is worth visiting. In the Waiotapu Geothermal Park, in the morning, you can see the Lady Knox geyser spraying 20 meters above the sky, and the colorful hot spring champagne pool is like a fairyland on earth.

Not a natural jet, but a hand-held bag of things inside, slightly disappointed

Drive for 25 minutes to the Geothermal Wonderland Park outside the town. The route is from Rotorua to the south along the SH5 road to Taupo, passing through the Redwood Forest Park area, traveling about 27 kilometers, following the signs and turning into one On the trail in the forest, from time to time we see wisps of white smoke coming out of the woods, and a faint sulphur smell blowing in the wind. The Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park is at the end of the trail. (The ticket office has a free guidebook in English and Chinese) Entering the park, the plank road is covered by fog, the smell of sulfur is getting stronger, the color in front of you is slowly changing, the flowers are gone, and the green is gradually changing Very rare, the emerald-green trees were smoked and stained by sulfur, and the whole land was bruised, leaving only dead branches and leaves, as if they had come to "hell on earth." It turns out that this is a relic left by a volcano. To be precise, it is a dormant active volcano. The open area is only a small part. The highest temperature recorded is 300C°. The groundwater flows over the surface of the magma stone and can be smelled everywhere. The strong smell of rotten eggs, if you can't smell this strange smell, there is a possibility of volcanic eruption. The road signs in the park clearly indicate that there are three connected circular trails, divided into 30-minute, 40-minute, and 75-minute scenic trails of different durations, totaling 3 kilometers. The length of the route is marked in red, orange, and yellow. There are 25 scenic spots on the trail, which can be seen in turn in a circle. Note that for your own safety, to avoid scalds, burns and corrosion, please follow the signs and walk on the formed trails when entering Wai-O-Tapu. Please do not cross the barriers of the restricted area without authorization. Do not pick up rocks, branches or other objects in the park. There is NOSMOKING.

Rotorua is so suitable for travel. Although it is not as famous as Auckland and Queenstown, I prefer this kind of place with rich tourism resources. The geothermal wonderland, the artist's palette, the brightly-colored champagne pool, the always boiling mud, the mineral-rich hot spring, and the KnoxLady geyser with regular and fixed-point water jets emit water up to 20 meters high, which is very interesting!
