The Squeeze between Rotorua and Taupo

#holiday #waikatoriver #rotorua #taupo #squeeze
Have you heard of New Zealand’s hidden gem called The Squeeze?
A secret hot water stream leads you from the banks of the Waikato River to find this natural geothermal wonder.
Thanks to its isolated location and an adventurous journey through a hot water filled crevice in the rock that culminates in an amazing hot water waterfall, this is one of the best natural hot pools to discover in New Zealand.

The Squeeze can be found about halfway between Rotorua and Taupō in an area renowned for its geothermal activity and many popular hot pools, geysers, and silica terraces It's important to know, however, that The Squeeze can only be accessed from the water.

After launching, head towards Orakei Korako Geothermal Park (ie. head south from Lake Ohauri boat ramp or head north from Tutukau Road boat ramp). The start of the stream that leads you to The Squeeze is located: here.
