It’s like the famous Wai-O-Tapu ($45) but $0—the ultimate budget hack! 3️⃣ Redwood Forest (Whakarewarewa Forest) A must-see! These 120-year-old California redwoods create a magical, towering forest. 🌿 ✅ Free hikes (try the 1-hour loop trail—just don’t get lost! ) 🌙 At night: Head to the Treewalk parking lot for free movies and sneak peeks of the light show —way better than paying! 4️⃣ Blue Spring (Te Puna) On the way to Rotorua, this crystal-clear spring feels like a real-life fairy tale! ⚠️ Warning: Super sunny!
