Take state highway 5 south out of Rotorua and visit Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland and the Lady Knox Geyser or stop sooner at Te Puia and the Pohutu world famous geyser...:thumbup: and have a good 3 hours walk about...:thumbsup:

The Lady Knox goes off at a specific time, so you have to be there early. However Wai o tapu is fabulous to walk around and has amazing mud pools.Would be best to do Te Puia, if you want geysers. Rotorua in a day from Auckland would be pushing it. There is so much to do and see.

Gill Personal opinion only but I'd give the Polynesian Spa a miss, it's very busy with tourists & not cheap. If you're heading out to Wai o tapu then it's worth visiting Waikite Valley Spa which is just the other side of SH5 from Wai o tapu. It's smaller & less busy than the Poly Spa.....also a lot less commercial. Unfortunately though it's just hot pools there, no spa treatments etc. Edited quickly to add that Te Puia offer a Whanau card for NZ residents which is a 12m pass offering discounted entry. Costs $60 for a family of 4 which is pretty good value bearing in mind that 1 adult day admission is $40. You can apply online, just google Te Puia |
