Literally “Sacred Waters,” Waiotapu has been a geothermal tourist attraction since 1886. The volcanic activity of the area has warped the landscape, creating severe and surreal looking terrain. The main walk takes you past Rainbow Crater, Sulphur Cave, Artist Palette, Lake Ngakoro, and Champagne Pool, all prime examples of natural wonder. Geysers and boiling, bubbling mud add to the atmosphere of this surreal spot.
