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!

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!! ?

The trip was nice and comfortable!

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

Easy walk from the entry to the lake. So many amazing views along the way. Lots of info boards. Loved the boat trip with the commentary from the captain 👍. Nice easy ride back on the bus. Great customer service staff. Lovely cafe at the end for cake and coffee. Totally recommend this experience.

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.

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.

Marvellous nature beauty

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!

A bit smelly but it's a must do.

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!

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 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! :)

Highly recommend this walk that combines great views of stunning thermal lakes and surrounding mountains with lots of signage on trail of the area and history of the Tarawera eruptions and famous pink and white terraces.Well maintained easy walking tracks, with optional boat ride at end and bus return if you wish. A great day out and cafe food was lovely as were the staff. Take sun protection and plenty of water if doing this walk in summer as can get very hot in the valley. Well worth the price with book-me discount, otherwise a rather expensive walk for full price.

The trip was great. We arrived early and were the first ones in the park. The place is right out of Jurassic Park.

We really enjoyed this experience - we didn’t have as much time so I am keen to return to complete the entire walk. The bus option was fabulous for the older member of our group to return back to the start but also if you did the longer walk.The site is well maintained and the information is well presented on the map and at each point. It’s hard to put in words the raw natural beauty of such a place - I was particularly impressed that it seemed untouched and less touristy than many places now in Rotorua. As a New Zealander that has been to Rotorua many times, this is one place I had never been but would be keen to return to. It was serene and beautiful.

Never seen anything like this. Well worth the walk and with a bus that take you back to the start, it made it quite achievable. A very unique experience

Très belle balade entre bois et volcans

It was a nice place, we spent more time than we thought. More natural and so much less tourists ! However, the price is a bit expensive when you know that the famous geothermal place is 32,5$ ! So for 40$ I was expected to have the boat trip included. And we were expecting to have a nice lookout over the inferno crater from the hiking track. It is a nice place anyway, I will recommend it ! French people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through the valley, good viewing points, well informed. It felt like a very natural experience despite being a tourist attraction. Would highly recommend for a half-day visit or longer.

We spend a great time at Waimangu Volcanic Valley, we could see a lot of beautiful lookout and the walkway was really worth it ! Everyone can do this activity and see the magie of Volcanic area !

A wonderful way to spend a morning. Beautiful scenery, interesting history

Must do!

Amazing experience! Easy walks. A

I did trhe really lovely self guided walk. There was plenty of viewing and information stops. A bus is available to pick up or drip of from various places. With the book me deal, it was great value for money. I am more than happy to support theses lovely nature reserves.

The experience was amazing I brought my family there and all enjoyed alot and scenic view is really good

The walk was the highlight of our weekend visit to Rotorua. Excellent experience from start to finish (delicious almond mocca from your cafe; to the very informative return bus ride). Easy walking trails and wonderful photo opportunities. Thank you!!!

Beautiful and breathtaking volcanic view and colorful water

Our second or third time and we always come to Waimangu with great pleasure. With friends and family, it's always a good place to visit.

Volcanic and thermal areas are always fascinating places to visit. This one involves a quite long walk but we'll worth it. Beautiful bush on the walk and birdlife at the lake. Covid has clearly taken its toll on visitor numbers, so a double benefit is to support the valley

Excellent walk with friendly staff and natural attractions.

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.
