Slim is an absolute gem!
Booked this last minute to explore some geothermal activity in Rotorua. I was conflicted between the numerous options and opted for a half day trip to Waimangu. It ended up being one of the major highlights of my 3-week trip to New Zealand. Gorgeous views, awesome hike and it was way less crowded than other sites. On the way there, Slim gave an introductory history lesson of the area and some great tips especially for Waimangu as he was a previous employee at the park. It’s always inspiring to hear about an area from a local who grew up there and has clan history dating back ages. Made for a truly authentic experience. Would love to visit again whenever I make my way to this end of the world in the future.

Thanks so much for your kind review Cindy. Slim loves telling everyone about his upbringing in and around the geothermal. Let us know when you are on your way back to this part of the world.

Enjoyable half day experience
Pleasant and knowledgeable local tour guide. Waimangou is a very interesting geothermal valley where respect of the environment is visible, despite the need to provide amenities to the visitors. This is a very good nature experience, unspoiled by too much commercialization, and much less crowded than other alternatives... Highly recommended!

Fue una experiencia fantástica, desde la recogida en Rotorua. El recorrido hacia el parque geotérmico estuvo alimentado por las historias contadas por “Slim” el conductor quien además resultó ser un gran ser humano. Excelente aventura.
