Ganz netter Ausflug

Hatte bei dem Titel irgendwie eine geführte Tour erwartet, aber die Self-guided Tour war auch ganz cool. Mit 50% Rabatt auch auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Grundsätzlich 4 Sterne aber für den netten Service 5 Sterne, da wir unser Bootticket verloren hatten, aber der nette Bootsführer uns trotzdem mitgenommen hat. Das Panini in dem Cafe danach war absolut köstlich. Preis Leistung insgesamt top.

Toller Ausglug

Eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung! Man kann das Tal selbstständig auf einigen Wegen erkunden. Durch einen Info-Guide und zahlreiche Schilder erfährt man die Hintergrund Informationen zu den verschiedenen Kraterseen und Quellen. Auf der Schiffsfahrt gibt es dann noch mehr Infos von einem Guide und einen Geysir zu beobachten. Ich würde den Ausflug weiterempfehlen.

Beeindruckend

Am Tag war es etwas regnerisch und daher eher weniger Leute unterwegs, was angenehm war. Der Weg führt doch recht weit bis zum See, viele hören am 1.Busstop auf zu gehen und nehmen den Bus zum See. Auch wenn es hinten raus etwas lange wird, so sind die diversen Terrassen am Weg sehr beeindruckend. Die Fahrt mit dem Boot war unterhaltsam..nice Captain. Der Geysir der alle 5 min sprudelt das wahre Highlight am See. Vulkan wegen Nebel/Wolken war leider nicht zu sehen. Insgesamt 3 Stunden mit Bootsfahrt einrechnen, ohne 2 Stunden mit gehen bis zum See und retour mitm Bus.

Over priced and underwhelming

Nice nature walk for a bit of exercise. But the fact you have to pay so much for it makes it very underwhelming. The boat ride barely has anything interesting to look at. Timing wise everything works really well. No waiting around for the boat or bus which was very impressive and made the experience tolerable. Staff are all amazing and the path is well maintained and really easy to walk on. But again… the price seems ludicrous. Perhaps if the boat ride offered a swim it might be more interesting.
