Incredible place, friendly guides

Despite rainy weather the walk through the valley was completely jaw dropping and awe inspiring. They lend out nice big umbrellas and the staff were so nice, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. I had a wonderful day here.

An unfolding dynamic landscape

Walking through the volcanic valley invites a leisurely up-close discovery of diverse landscapes from dazzling blue hot crater lakes, hot springs, geisers, rich flora, and gurgling creeks to the vast Lake Rotomahana where the journey continues by boat. With engaging commentary, the boat ride took us past unusual volcanic formations, islands, geothermal steaming vents, and views of the volcano that explosion in the 1800s. Altogether fascinating and breathtaking. Highly recommended and reasonably priced.
