Rotorua: Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park Entry Ticket - Champagne Pool, Artist’s Palette, and Devil’s Bath: What the Hot-Pool Loop Is Really About

1.Rotorua: Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,601 reviews · 3 months · from $28Our pick

Full-day Wai-O-Tapu entry near Rotorua, timed Lady Knox Geyser show, and three walking loops to see Champagne Pool, mud pools, and more.

“We arrived for the Lady Knox geyser and were directed to park efficiently and then walked to the viewing area. It was raining quite a bit so we were unable to sit and it was more difficult to see with umbrellas in the way however it was worth it to see the geyser. We then drove to the main park and luckily it stopped raining. The park was well worth the visit and well laid out with the 3 walks to suit everyone. The paths were good and not too slippery despite the rain. It was a fabulous experience.”
