Itinerary

  • 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.

Triggered by a surfactant introduced by park staff, its eruptions can reach heights of up to 10-20 meters, lasting for about an hour. The geyser was discovered in the early 20th century and named after Lady Constance Knox, the daughter of a former New Zealand governor.

Spectacular sights

Published on Jan, 2025

Good walk through the mud pools and to the geyser - you wait and wait, and then some geyser blows its top

Enjoyable solo trip

Published on Jan, 2025

Went there as a solo and there were other people there that was solo as well, so the group I was with we all chatted together and enjoyed our time as saw a lot of beautiful scenery. Dinesh our driver was a star, he had so many stories to tell and was really funny. He was very hospitable to me and the rest of group and made sure we had a good time but also for us to understand everything that’s going on and giving information out clearly. Would definitely recommend my friends to do this trip if they ever come down.
