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.

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.

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 :-) ).

Had a great time waking through this wonderful valley. The walk was around 2hrs and we took the boat around the lake which was well worth it. Lots of historical sites of significance. Highly recommend checking this out

Friendly staff 1st came here 31yrs ago when my girls were young I took my Grandson 8yrs old loved it the skipper on the boat let him steer it made his day could not stop talking about it fir the rest of the day great day out

Really great experience for locals showing off to visitors!

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.

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 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

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!

Great family fun! Lots to see and friendly staff!

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

Take in the views with this self guided tour. Glance at it or read along with your map. Your choice. Fantastic staff and memories to last a lifetime.

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.

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.

A weekend away in Rotorua and this was the highlight of our trip. Beautiful sceneic walk followed by the cruise on the lake. Very special place. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Very beautiful walking track, peaceful, fantastic view,

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.

Breathtaking views! We went in mid July and it was quiet and relaxing. If you are booking a walk and boat, we suggest you get there early so you will have some time for photos and can explore more!

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.

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!

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!!

I can recommend visit that valley. We enjoyed every minutes

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!

Awesome scenery; lovely, informative cruise; peaceful; full of bird songs; the crater lakes were amazing. The story is amazing. The staff are lovely - we wandered up after the cruise, not taking the first bus back. We wandered around for hours, enjoyed a picnic, went up the hiking trail. I think the bus driver was relieved that we finally caught up with him at one of the designated stops on the last bus.

It was an amazing experience to discover Waimangu Volcanic Valley. I totally recommend! I will come back. Thanks to the whole team.

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 ?

Seeing God's creation and walking into it relieves stress from city life. We had this walk last January and again this February. We will never get tired of going there especially with new friends and family.

Interesting mix of land and lake scenery Nice walk mostly down hill. Lake trip comfortable and not over long.
