Key Highlights >> Rainbow Mountain >>
The Maori Name for Rainbow Mountain is Maungakakaramea, meaning'mountain of coloured earth'. It is easily recognised by it's coloured slopes and it's unusual rounded knob on the top, known as Tihi-o-Rua,'theowls perch' . From it's volcanic origins, the mountain was cooled over recent years, although in places it is still visibly smouldering. Mud Pools >>
In 1925 New Zealand's largest mud volcano was eroded by heavy rain. The vigorously active mud pools now occupying the site provide one of the best opportunities to photograph and experience the unique character and sounds of erupting mud. It is an ever active and changing landscape and very soothing for eroded urban nerve endings. Riverjet >>
Jet Boat down the Waikato River through the spectacular Tutukau gorge where the canyon walls rise dramatically up to 50 metres above the water and hear the tales behind past events. On the return journey experience the iconic ability of a Hamilton jet boat as our experienced driver/guide thrill you with 360 degree spins. Orakei Korako >>
