07 Jun - Wasting no time as the day is short during winter, we drove to our next destination (Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland) after we are done exploring Te Puia. Sculptured out of volcanic activity and thousands of years in the making, Wai-O-Tapu is considered to be New Zealand’s most colourful and diverse geothermal sightseeing attraction. The area features geysers, mud pools and multi-colored pools from the various minerals in the water.
Bubbling water sounds could be heard though there was no geyser. Guess the water table is low during winter
