The English meaning of “Wai-O-Tapu”
 
A Wonderland of Stunning Geothermal Activity.
 
Located 27 kilometres (20 minutes drive) south of Rotorua on SH5, the Visitor Centre provides the gateway to New Zealand’s most colourful natural volcanic environment.
 
Visitors can walk at their own pace and absorb the unique features including the world famous champagne pool, geysers, bubbling mud, steaming ground, expansive vistas, huge volcanic craters and sinter terrace formations. The natural bush setting adds another dimension to the experience as does the guaranteed daily eruption of the Lady Knox Geyser at 10.15am.
 
Opening Hours: 8:30 am – 5:00pm Daily (last admission 3:45 pm)
