Wonderful walk through the geothermal valley
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through the Waimangu valley. It’s a self-guided walk along a footpath, following a map to read at numbered points along the way. The weather was warm and we had clear views of all the rock formations along the way, the bubbling hot springs, steamy lake and wonderful colours of nature around us. The path was mostly downhill but you can stop at 2 bus collection points if you want a ride back to the Visitors entrance. We continued the 2 hr walk down to the jetty to explore the lake by boat. Our guide explained the history of the lake’s formation and was very informative about the surrounding vegetation. It was amazing to stop by a guyser during the trip and to see nature’s force as the water shot up after being heated by the lava below. It was a super place to visit and we highly recommend booking it.

This trip is so much more affordable with Bookme!
Huge thanks to Bookme! This amazing geothermal park was absolutely stunning but it is expensive at $180 pp for the full experience with boat trip. But we paid less than half price each with Bookme - huge thanks Bookme!
