Orakei Korako contains geysers, huge silica terraces, a sacred cave, mudpools, a rock that looks like an elephant's head (honest) and a picturesque view back across the river to the café, office and accommodation centre.

Orakei Korako is a hidden valley near Taupo where you can stroll about with few other visitors to get in the way of your camera, or disrupt the relative tranquility of an active thermal area.

It is well off the main State Highway One - 21 kilometres in fact - but the countryside is pleasant and
Orakei Korako is well worth a detour.
It is a fairly compact thermal area that you can walk around in an hour, 90 minutes or take all afternoon if you'd prefer.~
