Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Rotorua, Neuseeland
Beschreibung
Tausende von Jahren in der Schaffung eines Wunderlandes der atemberaubenden geothermischen Aktivität. Die technische Beschreibung dieses bemerkenswerten Ortes lautet, dass er Teil eines 18 Quadratkilometer großen aktiven Geothermieparks am nördlichen Rand der Reporoa Caldera (ein eingestürzter Vulkankrater) ist, der vor 230.000 Jahren innerhalb der Taupo Vulkanzone gebildet wurde. Das „Wow“-Faktor zeigt sich viel im Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, dem Ort, den wir gerne mit Besuchern aus aller Welt teilen. Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland „einer der surrealsten Orte der Erde“, so natürlich steht es ganz oben auf der Liste der wichtigsten Attraktionen Rotoruas. Das Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland ist ein Ort, an dem man die künstlerische Pracht der Natur bestaunen kann.

Some very close friends of mine and I had the opportunity to come visit this AMAZING sight! We started off with the Lady Knox Geyser and I just want to give a HUGE shout out and props to the two guides, Sawa and most of all Awatea! They were great getting us all into the facility but the one thing I really want to mention is how BEAUTIFUL Awatea did as she presented and introduced Lady Knox. She gave a great intro as well as a brief history lesson with light hearted and friendly humor that had us in stitches! The part that touched me the most was when she sang and THIS GUUURRLLL SAAANNGG!! It was INCREDIBLE! I was in tears! What a beautiful tribute not only to the presentation but to the land and Māori people. It was humbling to hear and take in. I felt so honored to be there! Thank you Awatea! Thank you to the Thermal Wonderland! The rest of the attraction was just UNBELIEVABLE and hard to justify on here just how majestic it all was! You HAVE to check it out! Hands down! And say hi to Awatea and Sawa!
The thermal wonderland park was beautiful! There are a lot of walking paths that you can take to see incredible pools. If you planning a trip to Rotorua, I’d recommend adding this park to your stop to enjoy this natural wonderland!
fantastic, staff were super friendly and helpful, tracks were easy to navigate! It's cold in some places, and hot in others so have layers Incase :)
Favourite part of our trip. Worth the time to stroll through. Next time we will slow down and enjoy it longer.
Absolutely amazing experience that was otherworldly and made special by Georgia and Rae.
I was a bit disappointed on the mediocrity of this place. Geysers were a rarity even if u experience one. It mostly consisted of sink holes spewing cloud of sulfur. There were couple of pools that showed some colors but mostly bland. My review is based on the fact that I have seen much better in other parts of the world. My biggest disappointment was Lady Know Geyser. It was not even natural. It was artificially created by dumping soap etc. to force water from the vent hole at precisely 10:15 am. Natural Geysers sprout with an approximate intervals through out the day. Not at at 10:15 am once a day.
It was amazing and emotional because you’re learning about the history and seeing for yourself the impact of what had happened. My daughter who is 1 years old loved it and walked a little bit until she kept getting distracted. I love that you can go in your own pace and really feel in the scenery of everything
Love the thermal wonderland. Absolute must visit if travelling NZ. Has some nice walks around the park that are not hard but there are some steps you need to climb on return of you decide to walk to the lake. The only issue we and many others had was the Lady Knox geyser. Access to the geyser was confusing and not very well documented. It advises you to get there early but there is No one there to direct you. You drive to was is sign posted to Lady Knox only to be greeted by a gate that says Private Property. Returning back to the main car park is quite a distance from Lady Knox but turns out, you need to wait for the gate to open and then drive down to another car park. It would be good if there were a sign at the gate saying when it opens or to visit the information centre to check in.
Had been here quite some years ago and was very impressed with how this place is presented and its thermal activities. Tracks excellent, safety fences and signs mean you couldn't possibly accidentally get into danger. We went on a stunningly beautiful day and the only thing wrong was there was no wind and so the steam sat over the Champagne (?) pool. We were really impressed with everything and would advise anyone to go there. It was amazing seeing how many manuka plants can grow so close to the hot pools!
Great morning at Wai-O~Tapu. Short drive down from Rotorua, arrived for the Lady Knox Geyser eruption at 10:15, following this returned to the visitor centre for a walk around the the beautiful geo-thermal area. Very enjoyable walk with lots of signs giving more information on points of interest. We could have easily spent much longer at the park but had to leave just after lunchtime as we had an afternoon activity booked in Rotorua. Coffees and snacks at the cafe were also first rate.
