North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Wairoa ▷
3.5/5
Not much of a view from the top.
Hot springs at the end are a definite bonus!
North Island ▷ Taupo Region ▷ Taupo ▷
4.5/5
Watch the dam open and fill the gorge with water - pretty impressive!
North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Reporoa ▷
4.0/5
Amazing place to see but a bit expensive at $34 per adult simply for entrance (self guided tour).
I blame Lonely Planets review as 'arguably the best thermal area in NZ'
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
3.0/5
50 cents for 6 minutes of hot water is a bit steep when paying $30 for an unpowered site.
Also, not much shade!
