Champagne Pool

Wai-O-Tapu (Maori for “Sacred Waters”) is famous for the champagne pool , a large and colourful hot spring.

We spent the whole afternoon walking around the park exploring all the various geological features.

To keep James interested we told him that there were dragons living underground and that the steam was dragons breath and the sulphur deposits were dragon snot! This strategy was very successful and we had a great time sneaking past caves and trying not to wake the dragons hiding inside.
