Highlights
- These must-see Wairakei silica terraces are the crowning jewel of this mystical place and continue to form naturally every day, providing a unique window into how the near-mythical pink-and-white versions once looked.
- For an unforgettably warming experience, bathe at the bottom of silica terraces in a series of stunning naturally-heated hot pools.
- Go for the Walkway option and you'll enjoy intricate Māori carvings throughout a one-hour walk depicting the stories and history of early Māori and New Zealand – the walkway's suitable for the whole family, with under-fives getting in free.
- Children 13 years and under are not permitted in the pools.
