Experience the world's youngest geothermal system.
We connect people with the beating heart of the world’s youngest geothermal valley, its unique history and legacy. We share how the world began! Experience spectacular volcanic craters, enormous hot water springs, beautiful geothermal features, rare and unusual plant life, brilliantly coloured micro biology and a wide array of birds. We immerse visitors in the stories of the Mt Tarawera volcanic eruption, its people, and the resulting dramatic landscape changes that created the world’s youngest geothermal park.
