Journey to Wai O Tapu, one of the world's most surreal destinations. You will spend approximately 45-60min in the park before departing to the Lady Knox geyser.
-
Lady Knox Geyser
15 min
Our journey will guide you to the Lady Knox geyser who only erupts once a day at 10.15 am. Come along and found out the story behind her punctuality.
-
Waimangu Volcanic Valley
1 hora 30 min
We journey to the Jurassic Waimangu valley, the youngest geothermal eco-system in the world.
Here we will witness first hand the power and beauty of mother nature and the aftermath of the 1886 volcanic eruption of Mt Tarawera.
We spend approximately 90min here, including a 30min lunch break at the scenic Waimangu cafe. -
Te Puia
1 hora 30 min
Finally, journey with our local guide to Te Puia and learn more about Maori culture.
Te Puia is New Zealand's Maori arts and crafts institute. Here we will introduce you to the process of Maori carving, weaving, and casting.
At the heart of Te Puia lives New Zealand's largest geyser, Pohutu. Unlike Lady Knox in the morning program, Pohutu can erupt up to 20 times a day, approximately every 90min and reaching heights of 100ft (35 meters)
Te Puia is also home to 3 kiwis who have been breed and raised in conservation.
Hopefully, at the conclusion of the day you will see not 1 but 2 geysers as well as enough kiwi birds to quench your Kiwi needs.
We stay here from approximately 60-90min
