Our Geothermal trip is without a doubt the best way to experience the spectacular scenery and the geothermal wonders of New Zealand up close via kayaking the Waikato River, New Zealand largest river, down to the hidden valley of Orakei Korako Geothermal Park. From our base in Acacia Bay, we will drive ½ an hour north to Tutukau Bridge where we will begin our kayak adventure. As we meander down the glassy waters of the gorge, you will get to explore the warmth of the thermal springs flowing out of the river underneath you and see interesting geothermal activity along the way. Watch out for mini geysers, mud pools and look out for the steam beds as we approach every corner through the gorge. While taking in the beautiful scenery of willow forests, water meadows, clusters of water lilies and waterfalls towards the sides, you will also get to kayak pass ducks, geese, swans, shags, tuis and other water birds. If we are lucky, you may even see an eagle fly past overhead.
You know when you are nearing Orakei Korako as the geothermal steam will be quite visible. If the timing is right, you might even see the main geyser go off (water bursting out of the rocks) from your kayaks. The surrounding waters are quite warm, keeping your butt and legs nice and toasty. We will take a short break for refreshments before exploring Orakei Korako Geothermal Park. Take your time to walk around the hidden valley which features a volcanic world of gushing geysers, hot springs and bubbling mud pools and a hidden cave. Then eat a 2 course dinner of your choice ( pre order a few days before ) at Plateau at 7pm
