North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Rotorua ▷
The Redwoods
4.0/5
The walk in the Redwood Forest is really beautiful, but the extended track is quite uninteresting most of the time.
Free.

North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Waiotapu ▷
Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
3.0/5
Lady Knox Geyser is the most deceitful tourist trap I have ever seen.
Still, the rest of the park is almost worth the money, with the Champagne Pool and lovely views. And the mud pools are quite funny to watch.

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
5.0/5
The first and last two hours of the trek are a bit boring, but the views of Mt Ngaurohoe, Mt Ruapehu, The Red Crater and the Emerald and Blue Lakes are really stunning, probably the best in the North Island

Rainbow Mountain Summit Track (Maungakaramea)
4.5/5
Nice trekking to the top of a hill with a lookout of all the surrounding area including a beautiful blue lake and ending in some really hot thermal springs with a nice waterfall - all free.
