Top Nature in Northland

My advice is to bring a picnic. There’s a lovely little area to chill with a great view; way better than the overpriced cafe at the entrance.

I recommend checking the geyser eruption timetable before your visit. I missed the big one because I didn't plan around it. A little prep can make a huge difference!

If you're planning to have a treatment, book it early. I waited until I got there and missed out on the best slots - it was a bummer!

Make sure to check the geyser eruption schedule. We almost missed the big one because we didn’t plan our visit around it.

Wear sturdy shoes! The paths can get slippery in certain areas, and you don’t want to miss the great views because of that.

Bring a refillable water bottle. There are spots to refill throughout, and it’ll save you from spending extra on drinks.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks; there's not a lot around and it can save you some serious cash. I got caught out and ended up paying double for a bottle of water!

If you're planning on surfing, I recommend hitting the waves early in the morning, like around 7 AM, when the winds are calm and the water's glassy. Trust me, it makes a world of difference
