The trip was nice and comfortable!

Enthusiastic and informative driver :)Nice place to visit for about 2 hours! I prefer it to waitomo caves or hobbiton village (these are too expensive and not as expected)

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our morning with Geoff. He is a very friendly and knowledgable tour guide and we could both happily listen to him speak about New Zealand all day long. Wai-O-Tapu is a MUST DO trip for anyone traveling through Rotorua. We contemplated using the Intercity busses however they involve a rediculously long walk when you get there so definitely avoid! The other tour companies seem very poor value for money considering what you get with Arden Hybrid Tours. It was our first time using ‘Book Me’ and we were nervous but fear not as it proved to be very reliable and easy and we will continue to use it in New Zealand. My only regret is that we don’t have longer in Rotorua as I would have loved to have joined Geoff again for another one of his tours. Thank you again Geoff!

Thank you Linda for such an amazing tour and transfer service. Your attention to detail and kindness went a long way in making me feel welcome. I appreciate all the help and information on other things to do in the area as well.

Geoffrey is a good guide to lead us to see wonderland, he gave us enough time to visit whole theme park , I did really enjoy this tour and thank him so much!

A bit smelly but it's a must do.

Marvellous nature beauty

Our guide Kraig is very knowledgeable and friendly. Small group tour allows our guide to cater more time to the intinary which provides better experience than big tour bus and flexi tour. Will definitely book other tour which cheeckykiwitour

This was a long walk, but very worth while and very interesting. It was long as we spent ages reading all the info at each site as well as taking in all the views. The boat tour and the guide were great. We had done the Buried Village museum in the morning and this in the afternoon and it tied in beautifully to bring the whole story together. We saw the volcanoes and the site of the pink and white terraces. Great to see the wee geyser as well. Fantastic afternoon.

Wonderful experience! Recommend going earlier in the morning or later in the day as it was quite hot when we went in the middle of the day... Definitely take water, sunscreen, hat and comfy walking shoes... The natural beauty is surreal, definitely recommend!! ?

One of the best experiences we’ve had since our stay in Rotorua. Full of amazing facts and very knowledgeable guide on the boat cruise.

We spent a lovely three hours walking then boating through New Zealands newest geothermal area. Signage along the way was informative and interesting and helped us appreciate the devastation and extent of the Mt Tarawera eruption. The four kilometre walk to the lake was mostly downhill with lots of stops along the way to marvel at Mother Nature's wrath! A shuttle bus took us back up the hill after the boat trip. I really recommend this fascinating place, the only thing missing is dinosaurs!

Amazing natural scenery, easy walking track & great staff. Only a short 15 minute drive from Rotorua & well worth it.

We did this walk and loved it. Some real wow moments. An easy walk and plenty of time. The boat trip was great as we had the guide telling us what it all was. Just wished we had a guide to tell us more, on the walk.

So beautiful! The best views are at the end of the track in bird paradise!

Great outing learned so much its well worth it. Lots of walking but it's quite unique to have the option to take the bus. We'll done to the Team at Waimangu Volcanic Valley.

Leisurely walk downhill with plenty of viewpoints. The walk does not need to be rushed, we had time for a pre-packed lunch at the picnic tables. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the Rotorua - Taupo region. Boat trip was informative with a close-up view of a geyser.

We really enjoyed the entire 3 hours. The walking path to the lake is very well signed & the provided map with details at each stop is helpful & informative. There are many beautiful lookouts & interesting features. The boat trip was a fun little cruise, especially on a sunny day & our captain was funny & a great narrator. Very cool to be able to see the geyser! It would have felt pricey at full price but at the discounted Bookme price is was really great value. Glad we went & recommend !

The normal trail was easy. The additional hike up was tiring but doable and totally worth it. I was glad that I was given extra time to reach the lake. The boat cruise is a great way to end the hike.

Not only park is beautiful but also the 6 km road to park is well worth visit. We love colored stones, wild flowers, black swans and other species. Park service is very good too.

What a fabulous experience. My husband and I enjoyed the walk although it took us a little longer than expected and we only just made the boat. It was so exciting walking around each corner not knowing what we would see. The information was great to read and very interesting... so much that we learnt. The trip on the boat was lovely. The skipper, who was also the tour guide, shared so much history and brought our journey to life. He know his stuff and was able to answer questions as well. A definite MUST VISIT... you could only take pushchairs about half way around, but there are bus stops placed along the way if you get tired of walking.... The whole walk (including reading boards and taking photos) took us two hours. The boat trip was 45 minutes. Forgot to mention the cafe at the top. Really friendly staff, clean environment and yummy food. Only downside of the who visit was that the toilets were downstairs, down a driveway which I observed an elder lady struggling to get up and down.

A stunning day out, a must-see if you visit Rotorua. Arrive early and take your time to enjoy the natural beauty of this area. Make sure you bring sufficient water & snacks as it gets hot on a lovely sunny day. Also, you need to wear suitable footwear as your walk on loose gravel footpaths. We took the full experience option which was the 45-minute boat trip once you get to the lake. The Captain gives an informative commentary as you proceed. There are toilets en route and inclusive tour buses that run often for those that require them.

A very nice easy walk for the all family. It took us 2.5 hours to walk to the lake with my 4 YO child (with a lot of stops). The boat trip was beautiful. We bought delicious sandwiches at the cafe. A great experience

It was a great experience with nice walk and views! The views are even better in real life than photos!!!!

A lot of walking and thankful there is a bus to catch back but so worth going to visit this place . The team working there were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful walk. We just did walking tour. Ticket office told us it would take 2 hours but for us it took 3 hours with many stops for photos.

Great walk with a very diverse landscape surprises around every corner. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable ? Artwork along the walk an extra gem ? Wear good shoes .

Very interesting walking tour through the valley, learning about the history of the volcanic area. The geothermal features aren't as spectacular as those at Waiotapu but still impressive. We thought that the boat tour was perhaps not worth the extra cost ...until we saw the natural geyser go off. Apparently it only happens after a lot of rain so we were lucky. Much more exciting to watch than the Lady Knox Geyser.

We arrived early and so we had a nice quiet walk with not many people around. The staff were very friendly and informative. The sights were awesome and the hiking path was fun. We did the walk on a cloudy day, which now I see is a good thing as if it were sunny, be sure to bring sunscreen! I'd definitely recommend the experience! :)

One of the best things I have ever seen!! I loved it
