We were not expecting much with this visit , but we were pleasantly surprised and impressed.

Absolutely stunning and a must see if you are Rotorua. Very helpful friendly staff. There is a lovely cafe and there is a complimentary bus that takes you back to the reception after your walk at 3 different points.

Totally worth it. Beautiful well done walkway with plenty of places to take pictures. We did the whole self guided walk to Lake Rotomahana & took the shuttle bus back. The 60 minute leeway on either side of the booking is a real plus. Tip: go early if it looks like the day will be hot.

We were very impressed with this self guided walk. Beautiful scenery! There were many informational points along the way to read and a nice map to help decide which areas to explore. We did not walk all the way to the lake, it seems the first half of the walk has the majority of the "sites" and the last half of our walk was more walking along the paths. For those with mobility issues, there are some steps (don't have to go to the lookout), but the paths were mostly gravel or grass and were easy to navigate, with not too many inclines. There are bus stops along the way if you need to ride to the lake or back to the entrance. We passed very few people on our morning walk. The buses run regularly if you choose to not walk back to the entrance. We would highly recommend this self guided walk!

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.

Awesome walk and had a great time. Recommend setting aside a good chunk of times for exploring and photos

The walk is mostly downhill, with some uphill steps. There is one place (Inferno Lake) you cannot miss and is totally worth the effort to walk up the steps (takes about 2 minutes) Make sure you take a hat, sunscreen and water if it's a sunny day as there is little shade and due to the proximity of hot pools and rising steam. There is a bus (with 3 stops) that runs approximately every 50 minutes that will take you back to the start. If you are a really keen hiker, then you can take the bus down to the lake and walk up.

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 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!!!

I really enjoyed my walk around Waimangu. I had planned to spend the whole day there and do the Mt Haszard walk so I was disappointed to find out this was closed due to storm damage as I'd found no mention of this on their website. Despite this, it's a lovely location with great geothermal features!

2小时的轻松徒步，适合家庭出游。景色奇幻、员工友好、设施良好。如果你希望贴近大自然、不喜欢商业氛围太浓，那么来这里你会感觉到悠然自在。

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 !

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 !

Beautiful and breathtaking volcanic view and colorful water

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.

Beautiful walk and views of the volcanic valley. There is a small geysee. The colors are great.

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

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.

After making a booking mistake, the manager and front desk staff at Waimangu really went above & beyond in accommodating us and my confusion. I have rarely experienced this kind of sympathy and patience at any business, period. We are very grateful for their assistance. The Valley is also a beautiful place to see, especially the first half. My only qualm is that the uphill walk, which was tecommended, is not worth the trouble. The viewpoints were largely overgrown and there wasn't a wholerecommended, aside from that, wonderful experience. Thank you!

We visited this wonderful show of natures beauty and terror in summer. The natural features of the walk were truly amazing and the guide map was easy to read and follow for our self guided walk. The downhill walk was made easy with a shuttle bus to take us back up the hill.My only tegret was that we did not have time to take the boat ride on the lake to view more geothermal wonders.

Having the Waimangu App was an extra help. This gave you some added interactive features that added to the whole experience. It gave you information at places you might otherwise miss. It would pay to give yourself at least three hours to really take in all the information, scenery and the environment. So amazing to think how powerful, ruthless and yet beautiful mother-nature can be.

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

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.
