Fabuleux

Nous étions presque seuls et la rando se fait facilement mais si besoin il y a des bus. En pleine nature on a vraiment apprécié notre balade, le fait de pouvoir profiter autant que l'on veut, prendre des photos, magique !

Mars 2023 - Visite recommandée

Visite organisée en 30 points de vue avec des explications détaillées. Il faut compter à minima 2 heures avec la prise de photos Il y a des surprises comme le lac bleu La ballade en bateau complète parfaitement bien . Nous avons eu la chance d’assister au déclenchement d’un geyser d’une dizaine de mètre ( a priori il se déclenche toutes les demi-heures A recommander viens en complément d’autre parc du même type mais celui là est différent Pour avoir un prix défiant toute concurrence utiliser le site Bookme…

One of my favourite places on the North Island

I have been here twice, and will go back again every possibility. The natural beauty and geothermal history is mind-blowing. I had been in 2024, and took my husband and kids when we went back for Christmas in 2025. I had really talked it up, so the hope that they loved it too was really high. Happy to say that they thought is was amazing too. I recommend Waimangu Volcanic Valley to anyone going to the Rotorua region. The staff are brilliant, and the informative boat trip is a must.
