Witness the raw power of the earth at Rotorua, where colorful hot springs, bubbling mud pools, and dramatic geysers create an otherworldly landscape. The sulfur smell takes some getting used to, but the geothermal activity is absolutely mesmerizing. Te Puia and Wai-O-Tapu offer the best viewing experiences, plus you'll learn about Maori culture and traditions.

βThe main attraction in Te Puia is the Pohutu Geyser, which can erupt to as high as 100 feet or 30 meters of up to 20 times a day. But when we were there, it seemed that the Pohutu Geyser never stopped letting out steam and shooting water to the air. Smoke filled the Geyser Flat, terraces of sinter or what appeared as hardened water or burnt rock, as hot water mix with the cold breeze of the New Zealand winter.β
βThat unique aroma of sulfur reminded me of parts of Iceland as well as Yellowstone National Park. Itβs pungent but reminiscent of previous travels. The geysers shot into the air and sprayed the pathway with mist as we wandered around, exploring bubbling mud pots and touring the Maori wood carving school.β
βWatching geysers and seeing them erupt are something I havenβt experienced before. Iβm not sure if thereβs one in the Philippines. I read thereβs an El Minit Geyser in Mindanao but I havenβt encountered any blog post about it yet. But it was in Te Puia, Rotorua in New Zealand where I experienced the amazing power of the geyser.β
