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.

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! :)

One of the best experiences we’ve had since our stay in Rotorua. Full of amazing facts and very knowledgeable guide on the boat cruise.

Beautiful place well organised and presented

The walk was the highlight of our weekend visit to Rotorua. Excellent experience from start to finish (delicious almond mocca from your cafe; to the very informative return bus ride). Easy walking trails and wonderful photo opportunities. Thank you!!!

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 ! French people.

Totally worth it. Beautiful well done walkway with plenty of places to take pictures. We did the whole self guided walk to Lake Rotomahana & took the shuttle bus back. The 60 minute leeway on either side of the booking is a real plus. Tip: go early if it looks like the day will be hot.

Absolutely stunning and a must see if you are Rotorua. Very helpful friendly staff. There is a lovely cafe and there is a complimentary bus that takes you back to the reception after your walk at 3 different points.

Volcanic and thermal areas are always fascinating places to visit. This one involves a quite long walk but we'll worth it. Beautiful bush on the walk and birdlife at the lake. Covid has clearly taken its toll on visitor numbers, so a double benefit is to support the valley

Beautiful walk and views of the volcanic valley. There is a small geysee. The colors are great.

Its a lovely and relaxing place to go, so pretty and interesting, The bus trip back is a really good idea too

The trip was great. We arrived early and were the first ones in the park. The place is right out of Jurassic Park.

Beautiful and breathtaking volcanic view and colorful water

Très belle balade entre bois et volcans

Self guided information map provided an insightful and self paced experience that covered all aspects of the history and geology of the valley. The walk being entirely down hill and then the addition of the shuttle bus back to the top of the walk made the 2 hour journey very easy.

We were not expecting much with this visit , but we were pleasantly surprised and impressed.

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.

Beautiful walk

Must do!

2小时的轻松徒步，适合家庭出游。景色奇幻、员工友好、设施良好。如果你希望贴近大自然、不喜欢商业氛围太浓，那么来这里你会感觉到悠然自在。

The experience was amazing I brought my family there and all enjoyed alot and scenic view is really good

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.

Our second or third time and we always come to Waimangu with great pleasure. With friends and family, it's always a good place to visit.

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!

Never seen anything like this. Well worth the walk and with a bus that take you back to the start, it made it quite achievable. A very unique experience

A wonderful way to spend a morning. Beautiful scenery, interesting history

Excellent experience authentic Great experience love the features only since 1886 since the eruption.hope you find the pink and White terraces

A lot of walking and thankful there is a bus to catch back but so worth going to visit this place . The team working there were very friendly and helpful.

We spend a great time at Waimangu Volcanic Valley, we could see a lot of beautiful lookout and the walkway was really worth it ! Everyone can do this activity and see the magie of Volcanic area !

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.

Awesome walk and had a great time. Recommend setting aside a good chunk of times for exploring and photos
