A unique location on the fringes of the Pacific plate make New Zealand one of the most thermally active places on the planet. Here are our hottest experiences, brought to you by the team behind our weekly Travel magazine, published on Tuesdays.
Te Puia Geothermal Valley, Rotorua
Te Puia percolates not only with geothermal activity but also Māori culture, crafts and hospitality. The Whakarewarewa valley has been welcoming visitors for 170 years, making it one of the original seats of kaitiakitanga. Set up as an institute to foster Māori arts and culture in the 1960s, it was later vested to Rotorua iwi as a home for traditional carving and cuisine. Restaurant Pātaka Kai offers traditional hangi on selected Fridays and Saturdays.

Until the late 19th century, the shores of Rotomahana, in northern New Zealand, were adorned by one of the most spectacular travertine terraces called the Pink and White Terraces. They were the largest travertine terraces in the world, created by the deposition of minerals from the nearby hot water springs. So wonderful were these terraces that they were called the ‘eighth wonder of the natural world’ and were New Zealand s most famous tourist attraction.
On the morning of 10 June 1886, Mount Tarawera s three peaks erupted in a violent explosion that ripped through the center of Lake Rotomahana hurling tons of lakefloor sediment for miles around covering everything around with meters thick mud. The terraces were almost completely destroyed, along with several villages that were buried in mud. One of these villages, Te Wairoa, with its half-buried houses is now a tourist attraction.
