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..^^

Incredible place, friendly guides

Despite rainy weather the walk through the valley was completely jaw dropping and awe inspiring. They lend out nice big umbrellas and the staff were so nice, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. I had a wonderful day here.

An unfolding dynamic landscape

Walking through the volcanic valley invites a leisurely up-close discovery of diverse landscapes from dazzling blue hot crater lakes, hot springs, geisers, rich flora, and gurgling creeks to the vast Lake Rotomahana where the journey continues by boat. With engaging commentary, the boat ride took us past unusual volcanic formations, islands, geothermal steaming vents, and views of the volcano that explosion in the 1800s. Altogether fascinating and breathtaking. Highly recommended and reasonably priced.
