Astonishing... 🤯This is Actually Nature's Creation

Welcome to Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, a place where nature’s artistry is on full display. 🌋✨ As soon as I stepped into this geothermal wonderland, I was greeted by a symphony of colors and the distinctive smell of sulfur. The vibrant hues of the pools and the constant steam rising from the ground made me feel like I had entered another world. #### Highlights of My Visit: 1. **Devil’s Pool** 😈 The first sight that left me absolutely stunned was the Devil’s Pool. The neon green color of the water is so vivid and surreal that it’s hard to believe it’s natural. This striking color is due to the high concentration of sulfur and other minerals in the water. 2. **Champagne Pool** 🍾 This enormous hot spring is named for the constant bubbles of carbon dioxide that rise to the surface, resembling a glass of champagne. The misty, ethereal atmosphere around the pool adds to its magical allure. It’s also a famous spot where celebrities like Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong took their wedding photos! 3. **Lady Knox Geyser** 🌋 Watching the Lady Knox Geyser erupt was a highlight of the trip. Every day at 10:15 AM, park staff induce an eruption by adding soap to the geyser, causing it to shoot water up to 20 meters into the air. Make sure to arrive early to get a good spot! #### Practical Information: 📍Address: State Highway 5, 28 km south of Rotorua, Wai-O-Tapu 3073, New Zealand 🕰️Business Hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (last entry at 3 PM) 💰Price: $40 (includes entry to the geyser) 🏖️Facilities: Gift shop, café, and free parking available If you’re planning a trip to New Zealand’s North Island, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland is an absolute must-see.
