Orakei Korako Thermal Area - February 1999 The next day we had an early start to get to Orakei Korako - the "hidden valley" before the heat of the day. The thermal areas all vary year by year as activity starts up and ends and the water tables change in level. This year the displays at Orakei Korako were very good, the geyser was playing almost continuously and The Terraces very fresh and clean looking with many contrasting colours. Orakei Korako has a good range of thermal features and probably comes number two in our list after Wai-O-Tapu.
