Just 10 kilometres north of Wai-O-tapu, you can see another interesting geological site — Waimangu Thermal Valley. The eruptions from the Waimangu Geyser were seen reaching up to 1, feet m in height — as you can imagine, this generated worldwide interest. The geyser stopped erupting in November As an added bonus, you will see the largest hot water Spring in the world in this very spot. There is also a very unusual pale blue Inferno Crater Lake in this area. If walking is your thing, take a stroll through the valley — a beautiful walk through a natural geothermal ecosystem.
This is a highly active geothermal area that sits in the middle of a rural and forest landscape. It is largely known for its series of fault-stepped terraces. You can find these terraces in the valley which lies north of Taupo — on the banks of the Waikato River. The lowest terrace at Orakei Korako is the jade-green Emerald Terrace.
This is the largest of its kind in New Zealand, with up to 35 active geysers. Orakei Korako remains the largest geyser field in New Zealand. The most famous of these is the Diamond Geyser, whose random eruptions eject boiling water as high as nine metres.

Because of the curvature of the Earth, the shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or "as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative Vincenty formula. The straight line flight distance is 11 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1. This is a relatively short flight in a private plane, but you might be planning to book a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need to include how many minutes to get to your local airport, wait for security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the other airport, and get to your destination.
