From the Blog
White Island
Billowing clouds of gas, steam and ash are spewing out from the crater and you hesitate to move. An explosion seems imminent but the guide appears relaxed and in control.
Waitomo Caves
Suddenly, as you look upwards you realize the entire roof of the cavern is a mass of ghostly pale green twinkling lights, so densely packed together that it resembles the Milky Way galaxy.
Tongariro Plateau
The track winds through a 'moonscape' of bizarre lava sculptures and up onto the shoulder of a towering volcanic cone, draped with a skirt of shifting cinders. Onward it goes, past red cliffs, active geothermal areas, silent emerald and blue lakes.
Sulphur City (Rotorua)
The Waimangu Cauldron steams away at a seething 53° Centigrade as you stroll downhill past Frying Pan Lake, the world's largest hot spring. Nearby is Inferno Crater, an inverted cone with strangely fluctuating water levels and a swirling head of steam.
