Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park |

 |
|
Situated just 25 minutes north of Taupo, Orakei Korako is a pocket wonderland of thermal activity. Cross the Waikato River by boat, then explore a world of gushing geysers, hot springs, boiling mudpools and some of the largest silica terraces in the world. Orakei-Korako has the greatest number of active geysers of any geothermal field in NZ, with the most variable and interesting changes. There is a vast number of boiling hot springs to view as well as mud pools and extensive bush walks through areas of native flora and fauna. Possibly the highlight for most on the walk is the thermal Ruatapu Cave (sacred hole) extending some 120 feet down to a hot pool at the bottom. |
