非常值得一遊的行程
對於沒有開車自駕的人來說，參加這一類的行程真是太方便了！Wai-O-Tapu 附近搭公共交通不易抵達，本身門票也不便宜，但非常值得一遊！整個地熱公園分成好幾條路線，我們全部都有走完哦~地熱景觀十分壯觀（那個噴泉秀倒是還好==有點虛） 此行一大亮點是導遊兼司機人很好，因為當天報名人數少，是開他自己的私家車接送。沿路上講解很詳細，他說他曾經待過台灣六年，我們聊了很多關於台灣的事。到了景點他會在車上等你，本來覺得有點失落（原本期待講解）但後來反而覺得這樣子挺好，比較不會有壓力，可以享受自己拍照看風景的時光，只要在集合時間回到車上即可。 附近的紅樹林景點也超棒的，（未含在行程內，是我下午自己去的），搭配早上的Wai-O-Tapu剛好排滿一天，完美！

Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland
地熱公園裡的景色很值得參觀，香檳池很酷。lady Knox geyser的噴發是人工觸發，不是主動性噴發，有點小小的遺憾，但還是很酷，還有泡泡呢！ 行程能有再多一小時的話更好，第二趟進入較趕
