Noted as New Zealand’s first national park in 1887, the park was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both its cultural importance to the Maori people and its outstanding natural features just over a century later. The 80,000-hectare park features gorgeous jade lakes, old lava flows, steaming craters, colourful silica terraces, and strange alpine gardens, among other volcanic wonders. It is truly breathtakingly beautiful and otherworldly.
