Rotorua's best geyser, Aug 2023

 
Finally I have seen all the regular geothermal geysers in the world!  (Yellowstone, Calistoga CA, and Rotorua New Zealand)

The whole of Rotorua has volcanic activity but only the geyser inside Te Puia goes off regularly.  

Amazing!!



Even when the geyser is not actually erupting, there is a lot of steam over the whole area.



You can only visit via a tour.  In addition to the geyser you see the kiwi conservation center.  They are nocturnal so you won't see them in the wild.  

The third part is the Maori arts and crafts center.


It is a school where Master carvers teach apprentices and you can talk to them while they work.




The other craft is weaving.


In the gift shop you can of course purchase items.

Truly gorgeous work.
