Great thermal park that you have to reach via boat! Included in your ticket.

Orakei Korako Geothermal Park & Cave is a stunning location for tourists, locals, and those looking to experience something truly unique in New Zealand. Within the park lies a volcanic world of gushing geysers, hot springs, bubbling mud pools and some of the largest and most amazing silica terraces in the world. Visitors can wander through the Hidden Valley and explore the thermal Ruatapu Cave, which extends more than 36m down to the 'Waiwhakaata' or 'Pool of Mirrors' hot pool. Orakei Korako is home to over 23 active natural geysers and numerous boiling hot springs, making it an incredible place of beauty and wonder. The Lonely Planet Guide recommends this as "arguably the best thermal area left in New Zealand". With free Wi-Fi on offer, and the MudCake Café for refreshment, visitors may come for the adventure, but they won't want to leave!
