Rotorua

Kakahi falls is the largest hot water falls in the Southern Hemisphere. #newzealand #geothermal #waterfalls #rotorua #hellsgate
This place was interesting. If you've never seen geothermal activity before it's super interesting. Huge area that takes about an hour to walk. I still liked wai-o-tupo "better", if I had to pick one... But they both are very different and it was pretty cool to see all the bubbling mud. And if your already there to soak in the mud and use the spa, checking out the grounds in a no brainer
This place is awesome! Hells Gate mud pools an Sulphur baths. A really great relaxing day just covering yourself in mud and then relaxing in the hot pools after. Just remember to take your sun glasses and don't get the mud in your eye!!

This show was awesome! After the initiation you are welcomed into the village and go threw different stations learning about the culture and then you get a performance show and dinner. Definitely recommend and reservations book way out, so book early! And tip: ask for Mark to be your driver... Seriously I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard

Great place to stay. The room was nice, clean and private. We had a unit with a private bathroom. The staff were very friendly. The place was excellent. A few more hooks for cloths and places to put luggage would have been useful. But overall great stay
