New Zealand Day 4 Part 2 - Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland

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

Sulfur Cave (Obviously)
