Orakei Korako Cave & Thermal Park, Taupo

Hidden Valley of 23 Natural Geysers 

The Hidden Valley of Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park is located between Rotorua and Taupo, somewhat away from the usual tourist hotspots. It boasts the most active geysers in New Zealand, with up to 23 natural geysers playing freely through the area, which is constantly changing. To get there, you need to take a short ferry trip over tranquil Lake Ohakuri to the geothermal valley and cave. There, you can take a self-guided tour for an hour or more and marvel at the boiling springs and the vibrant colors of the native bush walk. This is a unique and untouched geothermal paradise that offers a slice of New Zealand without the crowds.
