Wondering experience
It’s really a full experience of the volcano eruption! The staff are so professional and friendly. Enjoyed every moment there!

Great experience
This experience exceeded our expectations. The panels along the walk and the information pamphlets were very informative. I also downloaded the Waimangu Valley app which I would recommend. The boat trip was special as you got to see more and from a different perspective. I would highly recommend this experience .

Good day out.
Had a bad start to the day with the lady who took our tickets and gave guidance telling us that the mt haszard trek walk was closed, as was a section of the main walk. She became agitated when I was checking bus times and how to get to the lake on time. It might be simple when you work there and have seen it a hundred times, but a little patience would be nice. We were the only people at reception! To be fair, every other person we met was very friendly. I was disappointed that the Mt Haszard trek was closed. We had been looking forward to that. Talking to a member of staff later, it sounds like it might be closed during winter every year - would be great to include this restriction on the promo material. Understand that the section of main track was closed for safety reasons. The walk was great, the lakes and inferno crater were amazing. The boat tour was great. The buses to get around were useful if you needed them. The day was great, we all enjoyed it. Full price seems very expensive for what you get, but we found that with a lot of the activities in rotorua. Thanks to bookme for the good deal!!

Unique natural environment
Waimangu Volcanic Valley is a very unique place to visit. We enjoyed the drive to get there, and the boat ride and history of the area was very interesting. However the entry price is very expensive and if I hadn't booked through Book Me then we wouldn't have gone. I think the full price is disproportional to the experience.

Educational and Beautiful!
We had a ln overcast day but that didn’t stop us- check in was so easy- we borrowed an umbrella and had a great walk through the valley. Trails are easy and well maintained. We took to small detour up the stairs and the forest walk was peaceful. The wetlands walk was full of birds. We packed our lunch and ate at the picnic tables right by the boat dock. The ride was so nice- we could be inside or out and were comfy. The tour given by the captain was very good. Seeing the geothermal features of such an interesting place was super cool!
