Wai-O-Tapu - Champaign Pool - Febuary 1999
The next day we went to another of thermal areas Wai-O-Tapu - which is probably our favourite with it's Champaign Pool as well as many other features. The champaign pool is always gently steaming with thousands of tiny bubbles rising to the surface from the very blue water and is surrounded with a shelf of bright orange-red deposit before it plunges far too deep to see. We prefer not to drive to watch what many see as the major attraction, a geyser which always erupts at 1015, but instead walk round in the quiet - the place is completely empty for 45 minutes (see below for more about the geyser).
