Wairakei is highly valued by Maori's who settled here over a 1,000 years ago and enjoyed the waters therapeutic and healing powers.
Marvel at the intricate Maori carvings during your walk through the terraces which depict the history of the local tribe Ngati Tuwharetoa.
You'll be in awe of the geysers that blast the waters up from depths of 1.5km reaching pressures of 250 thousand pounds per square inch.
The vivid blue pools cascade beautifully over the terraces, carrying the silica which helped form these amazing natural platforms.
Come and experience these outstanding terraces and discover for yourself why they were once touted as the true eighth wonder of the world.

Lovely easy walk with the kids
Took two teenagers and two under 6 on this walk, it was fun, and an easy walk for them. There is also a cafe and jewellery for sale on site.
