Wai-O-Taupo We took in a number of volcanic areas North of Lake Rotorua (Hell's Gate) to Lake Taupo (an area known as Wai-O-Taupo), which turned out to be the most outstanding area for diversity and size of hot springs and caldron activities.
The area between Lake Rotorua and Lake Taupo is one of the most active geological areas in the world.

The Lakes, river and hot springs were all within miles of each other. As we entered Lake Taupo, steam was rising from some of the street drainage systems. There is a crease of activity on the South Island that is one of the most active geological areas in the world. It runs from the east coast to the middle of the island and ends at Lake Taupo and the volcanic range to its south. Top MAIN TOPICS
