힐링의 시간이였습니다

2시간 정도 소요되는 트랙킹 거리가 부담이 될수도 있지만 천천히 자연을 느끼며 걸으니 힐링이 되더라구요.. 아이와 함께 한다면 천천히 걸으시면 좋을거 같아요..시간적 여유가 있다면 보트타는것도 추천합니다..그리고 bookme를 통해 할인된 티켓 구입으로 더 좋았습니다..^^

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.
