Bubbling Mud Pools in Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand
☔️ Rainy days makes for better (and bigger!) displays at Rotorua's mud pools - had to take a step back at one point!
Pools of bubbling mud like this one, form in high-temperature geothermal areas where water is in short supply.

📍Have you had dinner aboard a Doughboat?! 🍩
We even secured an evening session so our couple can watch the sunset and then enjoy a light show after dark!
Head off the shore of Lake Taupo in New Zealand’s only donut boats. Their eco-friendly Doughboats are one of the best things you can do in Taupo. They will take family and friends, young and old, on a unique and fun experience. The electric engine is as quiet as can be so you can enjoy your music on our bluetooth speakers. Doughboats is a Taupo must-do!
Nominate your captain from your group (of up to 6 people) and jump aboard! Rental sessions are 2 hours long. Their boats are super easy and safe to operate and can cruise up to 5 knots.
