Experience the magical geothermal landscape at Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley!
Highlights
- Enjoy a self guided walk through the geothermal landscape
- Fantastic views of silica terraces, geysers and bubbling mud pools
- Home to New Zealand's only geothermal cave
- A great day out the whole family will enjoy
Arriving at the Visitor Centre your adventure begins with a short ferry ride across the lake to the geothermal field at Orakei Korako.
Enjoy a leisurely walk at your own pace, taking your time to snap some amazing photos of this impressive landscape.
Get close up views of boiling acid and mud pools, geysers and colourful silica terraces from the safety of the boardwalk trail.
Orakei Korako's most unique attraction is New Zealand's only geothermal cave - Ruatapu Cave (Sacred Hole) which extends down 35m to a crystal clear acid pool. Our viewing platform allows safe viewing of this most unique feature as access inside is prohibited.
Once you have finished your walk the ferry will transport you back to the visitor centre where you can purchase refreshments from MudCake Café or peruse the Souvenir Shop.

놀라운 지형! 편안한 산책
신기한 간헐천과 그로인해 생긴 지형을 여유롭게 둘러보며 걸을 수 있었음.

Must Do
Make the time to visit here. Spectacular geothermal park in the most beautiful setting. Stay by the riverside in your campervan (if you're visiting the park). Friendly, super helpful team.

Impressive scenery
Enjoyed the geothermal landscapes surrounded by native bush. Friendly staff and clearly signposted route. Ferry is on demand so you can take your time.

Spectacular
What an amazing experience! Staff were very friendly and informative. The paths around the park were well maintained with great directions. We liked the 'no rush take your time around' atmosphere. Granted we went when it was raining so not as many people but still loved it all the same. Well done team!
