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.

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

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

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

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..

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

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 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.

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.

We booked this experience with bookme for 4 of us and had an amazing full experience of waimangu volcanic Valley. Fully recomend booking this tour through bookme. Totally happy to visit this place and have video to show our experience from my travel blogger mate from Malaysia. Below is the link. Thank you Bookme. https://travelwithlens.com/waimangu-volcanic-valley/

Wow 🤩 Having been to most Tourist destinations in Rotorua this was an unexpected surprise and for lovers of the natural world, i can not recommend it more highly. The walk through the valley offered endless views of different types of geothermal activity, streams, lakes and native Bush/birds. It really is a hidden wonderland and accessible to those of all ages (I had a 3 and 6 year old in tow). Lake Rotomahana Boat trip was excellent offering history and more geothermal activity unseen to me before. Staff were outstanding and went out of their way to accomodate us.

Very beautiful walking track, peaceful, fantastic view,

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.

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 !

A wonderful nz experience. Great walking tracks, informative information and really great staff. We had the best time and we highly recommended everyone to check it out. Do the boat trip, it’s very cool. Catch a coach bus back to the cafe and enjoy a freshly baked scone and a cup of tea.

Such an interesting part of New Zealand. Our family with 2 teenagers loved this experience. A full sensory experience of native bush, varied landscapes and animals. Fascinating history. Well worth the visit.

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.

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.

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!

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

This was a great experience I did with my 4 kids. It would be a solid walk for some, but it was beautiful, lots of information, great quality track, and the sights were like what you would see in a fantasy movie. Really enjoyed the boat cruise, the skipper was very nice and informative. Thankful for the bus drive back up. I think this is a must if you are visiting Rotorua and enjoy the outdoors. Good quality coffee at the top too.

Fantastic walk with so much to see! It was amazing and the boat ride at the end is the perfect way to top it off. 100% would do it again

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!

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.

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!

Really great experience for locals showing off to visitors!

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

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.

Great walking tracks. Picked a relatively sunny day for our visit which I think made a difference (rain arrived as we got to the boat ramp). Would definitely recommend a visit. Finished off with the boat tour. If we weren't pushed for time would have been keen to do more of the track walks. Buses are on hand to give you a lift back to the centre or drop you in between stops if needed (or if you're not keen on walking back up that hill :-) ).

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

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 ?
