Would recommend to all who have travelled far to our little country. Be immersed in the Maori culture, it’s an experience for all to share.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Food was delicious; the people fantastic but the best was mark our bus driver - hilarious ?

We really enjoyed the outdoor (make sure to dress for the weather) demonstrations of the Maori culture. Then the inside music and dances. Followed by a great meal. The vegetarian selection was very good, as was the vegan selection

The most awesome experience i had in rotorua. I actually went twice within my short stay in rotorua ??

A wonderful night...a magical insight to the Maori people and culture.

It was an awesome experience... me and my husband feel so blessed and greatful to experience the one of a kind performance of the villagers.. thanks for the warmth welcome.. thanks for the delicious Kai too.. definitely will come back with whanau and friends next time.. please give an heads up to our beautiful driver AROHA (Kea) you’re amazing and AWA for accompanying me and my son inside the warm house thank you guys..

An absolute amazing experience being able to understand the history of Maori culture being able to get involved and sit back and enjoy the entertainment, plus there's hangi buffet at the end which was a winner great food! Great job guys thanks for making it a welcoming and excellent experience! Will Defo reccomend.

We had a fantastic walking down into the valley. It was very special to be able to walk among nature the whole way. The paths are well signposted and pass through spectacular geothermal areas, and the viewing areas are well placed and well maintained. Loved the art work on the way and the differences in landscape. Sadly we missed the final part - the wetland area to Lake Rotomahana as we were concerned we could miss the boat cruise. The boat cruise was very informative and it was fantastic to see Mount Tarawera up close. Thoroughly recommend to all and would happily go again.

We absolutely loved this experience, we took our three daughters ages 10, 8 and 4 and they all loved it and were able to complete the whole walk (minus the hike) easily. They loved spotting the numbers along the way and learning about each spot. The information given at the beginning was well done. Frying pan lake and the bright blue Inferno Crater Lake were hightlights. We all loved the boat trip and it was amazing to see where the pink and white terraces were once on display. The bus ride back was an exciting bonus for the kids. We would highly recommend this activity.

Plan to spend the day there. Take good walking shoes, drinks, snacks even a picnic, do all the tracks, read all the most informative panels, enjoy the birdlife on the lakeshore. There were 7 spoonbills on top of all the other expected species when I was there. Weather was superb which did help too. Warning: toilets only at the entrance and half way down the valley. Be prepared!

Great family fun! Lots to see and friendly staff!

Arrived early so enjoyed a drink & light snack in the friendly warm cafe. 4km geothermal walk took us 1 1/2hrs & was has some pretty amazing sights. We arrived at the lake an hr earlier than our scheduled trip but Martin was happy to put us on the earlier boot trip even though it was just the 2 of us & he gave us a great history lesson on the area. Thank you Bookme for the great deal. Would highly recommend doing the boot trip as seeing where the pink & white terraces WERE is only boat excess-able from this park.

The walking around was good. Scenery was amazing, boat ride was a bit disappointing.

So much to see! Great well maintained trail. Staff especially Phil on the boat were warm and friendly! The boat and walk combination are so worth it!!

We loved the Waimangu Volcanic Valley full experience. The walking track was easy to follow and in good condition. The views were amazing! The boat cruise was definitely worthwhile and you get a different perspective of the landscape from the water. Would definitely recommend.

Hicimos el recorrido del parque y barco Facil de caminar, fuimos con ninos. Un lugar tranquilo, interesante y entretenido. El paseo por el lago fue muy lindo. Una tarde increible.

Active lake geysers, craters and thermal pools, wetland walk ... and much less busy than the ones in town as it's a bit further out. Had a wonderful day and the shuttle back was a great way to end!

We really enjoyed our day at this fascinating place. Well worth a visit to see landscape you won't see elsewhere, with steaming lakes and erupting geysers. The cruise was leisurely and the boat's captain was very informative. We decided to walk both ways but the bus is available for those only wanting to walk one way. Getting half price tickets through Bookme was the icing on the cake, so we treated ourselves at the cafe.

This park is a must do - you have to see the sights to believe it. So other-worldly, amazing. We had fantastic weather which added to the serenity. If short on time I wouldn’t put the cruise in the ‘must do’ category, I would have been satisfied with just seeing the geo-thermal sights. But it was nice as a peaceful way to soak in more of the beauty of the area and you do see a couple other interesting features, so I’m glad we did it. Wear comfortable shoes as it is a decent walk on a gravel pathway.

We enjoyed walking through the park, reading the info boards and info pamphlet that we were provided on arrival. Didn't have enough time to do the hike, we'll be back to do that! Really enjoyed the boat ride (take warm gear, gloves if it's not summer), learned heaps and had no real understanding of the Mt Tarawera Volcanic eruption - now we do! Staff were awesome, we were welcomed immediately and the visit made our week long stay on Lake Tarawera even more fascinating! We weren't that interested in checking out the buried village - now we know more, we are! Also, always been fascinated by the pink and white terraces so to learn there was a third.... Very cool! Only thing I would have changed was our choice to select a ticket with entry at 12.30pm. If I did it again, I'd buy a full price ticket and go when it opened so we could stop and have breaks/snacks/lunch in the valley along the way. You can get through it quite fast, but we do enjoyed it that we would have spent the entire day! Thanks team, and mad props for creating such an enjoyable experience during challenging times in the tourism industry.

Both my daughter and I absolutely loved the Waimangu Volcanic Valley walk and boat cruise. Stunning nature with all the volcanic activities so close to us. We loved the boat cruise too. Big thumbs up for the captain of the boat. He explained everything in such a good way with the kindest and caring voice. We'll definitely be back doing it all again one day. Kindest regards, Hope & Ingrid ?

tino pai! sis not know of this since we came in 2018, so went today even on rainy day, still incredible. self guided walk is 4km but easy path, mostly flat. map with an explanation of each point is full of information so it is really easy and interesting to walk by yourself your own pace. if you get tired and still have to catch boat there is three bus stops along the way that you can simply hop in the bus, same as after boat guide, they take you directly back to the car if you are all done. boat & guide were fantastic, he was so full of knowledge and showed sightseeing you cannot see walking! truly recommend !

Amazing place. Beautiful walk down the valley, Inferno Crater is a must see, then a cruise on Lake Rotomahana, with excellent commentary by Pete the skipper. We caught the bus back up the valley to the tearooms as it was raining quite heavily. A must visit attraction - you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience. NZ nature is incredible - especially when walking through a landscape of geothermal activity. The boat tour was enlightening. Also the cafe burgers and coffee were great, not to mention the staff were super helpful and lovely. Thanks!

Very beautiful walking track, peaceful, fantastic view,

Lovely day out! Interesting history, and natural beauty to explore. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend.

This place is magical, spiritual and awe-inspiring. The walk if fairly easy with a few steep bits. Make sure to take plenty of water.

Probably one of the best things we did down in Rotorua - Alan the boat driver is awesome and knows so much about the area! Would highly highly recommend

We walked down and we loved the valley and the cruise. However we took the Mt Haszard hiking trail which would be great if you want some exercise but is not great if you are looking for anything extra, as the hike didn't offer any special views just tired legs due to lots of stairs up - over 40 floors up according to my fitbit and then the same back down. Don't do the extra hike unless you like walking up and down steep stairs.

What a great setup! The walk/bus combo accommodates many different fitness levels and the guide gives useful insights along the way. The track is well-maintained with any hazards clearly marked. Would definitely recommend a visit to Waimangu to anyone in the region!
