Embark on a memorable adventure filled with nature’s wonders and scenic beauty. Depart from Tauranga, enjoying a morning tea along the way before reaching the Orakei Korako Thermal Park, where you'll explore the geothermal marvels of Lake Ohakuri. Take in the stunning landscapes, from bubbling hot springs to vibrant silica formations, with a self-guided walk through the park. The trail features some uneven surfaces and nearly 600 physical boardwalk steps, so a reasonable fitness level is required. After your walk, enjoy a light lunch at the Mudcake Café, perfect for a relaxing break. As the day winds down, travel through the picturesque Atiamuri Road and Horohoro on the way back to Tauranga, reflecting on the day’s unforgettable experiences before drop-offs.
