Rangitoto Island, one of the most fascinating places in the world, is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand and it’s the most youthful of the volcanoes in the area.

It's a place that hosts unforgettable sightseeing attractions. The community of Waitomo Caves itself is very small. The cave was formed about 30 million years, being initially filled with water. Now it can be seen the formations of limestone, coral and shells everywhere. Gardner's Gut is an extensive cave system in the Waitomo caves. One of the most impressive features of the cave is the 'Birthday Candle', the tallest stalagmite in the country, being around 6– 7 meters high and having a diameter of around 2 meters. More than 30 million years ago, the legend of Waitomo began with the creation of limestone at the bottom of the ocean. Now these limestone formations stand as one of New Zealand's most inspiring natural wonders and a must-see destination.

The air in Rotorua has a unique scent of sulphur that is typical only for this place. The city is known for its geothermal hot spots and features geysers. Also nearby geothermal hot spots there are boiling mud pools whose terraces are naturally decorated with a kaleidoscope of colors.

Milford Sound is a 22-kilometre narrow fiord off the Tasman Sea which is hedged in by cliffs, peaks and waterfalls, on the southwestern edge of New Zealand’s South Island. Milford Sound has two permanent waterfalls all year round, Lady Bowen Falls and Stirling Falls. After heavy rain however, many hundreds of temporary waterfalls can be seen running down the steep sided rock faces that line the fiord. They are fed by rain water drenched moss and will last a few days at most once the rain stops. The colors are fantastic and the waterfalls can be seen falling from everywhere. In an area often visited by rain, the mountain peaks rising from the waters of Milford Sound are often softened by mist and an air of almost flawless and overpowering mystic calm.

The Tongariro National Park is considered to be the first national park to be established in New Zealand and the fourth in the world. Tongariro National Park is home to many amazing native creatures including New Zealand's only native mammals, the short and long tailed bats. The most spectacular thing that you can find here is MT. Ruapehu - the highest mountain in the park and has erupted not less than 60 times some eruptions with serious consequences. On the top of Mt. Ruapehu, there is a small crater filled with green water. Besides volcanoes here also there are a big variety of lakes like Emerald Lakes, Dry Lake, Rotokura. Dry Lake has variety of native and exotic waterfowl.
