5 Star Tour

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!

Great jurassic experience!

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!

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.

Lovely Outdoor Experience with Great Sights

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! :)

Great experience in all ways

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easy, mostly downhill walk in a beautiful setting

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.

Excellent customer service, fascinating experience

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!

Very nice but a bit expensive!

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 !
