Cake Rotoiti-Okaiaina Round Trip (Motor and Launch) The maln highways radlatlng from Rotorua were built to provide th& shortest 1 routeg to and from tbo thermal dlstrlcts, ! and they. therefore, of necessity by-pass | rauch of the most magniflcent ecenery. : The water rout© of the Lake Rotoiti- I Okataina Round Trip remediea these de- ' fects and brlngs Into view new and delightful panoramaa as the launch traverses the sinuous and ever-changlng coastline of the longer of Rotorua's justly renowned lakes. Eleven miles from Rotorua the tourist 1s flrst shown the Okere Falla, formlng the head of a deep and dangerous ravlne twenty miles in extent. Arms of the lake, dotted with islands and separated by slender peninsulas, branch out ln all dlrectlons. Treea overhang the water's edge, thelr roqts securely held in the clefts of rock, whlle at the base of the mighty rampant the water, 500 feet deep, hollows out deep flssures and fairy caverns. When the pasaengers dlsembark, the Journey is resumed by car to the gateway of Hongl's Track. Hongl's Track Is enshrined for all time In the history of the Maori race. The car next passes down the celebrated Okataina Track. An additlonal crulse by launch on Lake Okataina ls avallable and furnishes a rare and singular experlence. Leavlng Okataina the next call ls Tikitere, a curloua, welrd conglomerate of mud aprlngs, black and cavernous, throbblng, hlssing and spluttering. The spectacle is awesome and, known as Hell's Gifts, provides the highest known surface temperatures in the world. Daily 9.15 a.m. FARE: 12/fl. Launch on Lake Rotoiti, 7/6. Guide Feea: Okare Falle, 6d; Tikitere, 2/-; Launch on Okataina Lake, 2/6. W airalcei-T aupo The Walrakel-Taupo trip takes the traveller to the geogxaphlcal centre of the North Island, the great volcanio Taupo basln. The slghts, varled to a degree, are unequalled ln any other part of the world; Rainbow Mountaln, resplendent in colour, is still the scene of considerable thermal activity. The rugged Paeroa mountain range lying to the west of the Rotorua-Taupo road comes into view a few miles beyond Rainbow Mountain. No words can do justice to the remarkable enterprise that Is converting 1,000,000 acres of tussock and scrub Into one Immense forest of vigorous, healthy plne. Unrivalled vlews of the plantation are obtamed frcm the service car. In the Aratiatia Rapids, the Huka Falls, and the celebrated Geyser and "Wal-Ora Valleys, we see the wizardry of Nature In endless diverslty of operation. The weird dlsplay of thermal activity in the Geyser Valley has won "for it the title of the Eighth Wonder of the World. Seen beneath a cairn and eloudless Bky, the hlue of Lake Taupo ls said to transcend the far-famed Vesuvian blue of the Bay of Naples. In the rarefled atmosphere it is deeper, richer — a pure sapphire blue." The mountains of National Park are revealad In clearest outline on the far shore-line. Daily 9.00 a.m. FARE: 25/-.
