There's unparalleled magic that comes with exploring New Zealand's South Island region. You'll find a pocket of wonder around every corner; glistening lakes, snow-capped mountain ranges and incredibly mesmerising fiords. 

New Zealand truly is an amazing spot for hot springs due to a mass amount of volcanic activity, especially in the Taupo and Rotorua regions. The geothermal energy radiating from these places often make for the best sightseeing and relaxation spots. There’s something about visiting a natural geothermal area that leaves you feeling cleansed, refreshed and connected to the earth again. Whether it’s witnessing the healing mineral waters, steaming blue and orange waters, exploding geysers, or boiling hot mud pools, it’s pretty marvellous.
