Enthusiastic and informative driver :)Nice place to visit for about 2 hours! I prefer it to waitomo caves or hobbiton village (these are too expensive and not as expected)

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our morning with Geoff. He is a very friendly and knowledgable tour guide and we could both happily listen to him speak about New Zealand all day long. Wai-O-Tapu is a MUST DO trip for anyone traveling through Rotorua. We contemplated using the Intercity busses however they involve a rediculously long walk when you get there so definitely avoid! The other tour companies seem very poor value for money considering what you get with Arden Hybrid Tours. It was our first time using ‘Book Me’ and we were nervous but fear not as it proved to be very reliable and easy and we will continue to use it in New Zealand. My only regret is that we don’t have longer in Rotorua as I would have loved to have joined Geoff again for another one of his tours. Thank you again Geoff!

Thank you Linda for such an amazing tour and transfer service. Your attention to detail and kindness went a long way in making me feel welcome. I appreciate all the help and information on other things to do in the area as well.

The trip was nice and comfortable!

Geoffrey is a good guide to lead us to see wonderland, he gave us enough time to visit whole theme park , I did really enjoy this tour and thank him so much!

Marvellous nature beauty

A bit smelly but it's a must do.

Our guide Kraig is very knowledgeable and friendly. Small group tour allows our guide to cater more time to the intinary which provides better experience than big tour bus and flexi tour. Will definitely book other tour which cheeckykiwitour

We spent a lovely three hours walking then boating through New Zealands newest geothermal area. Signage along the way was informative and interesting and helped us appreciate the devastation and extent of the Mt Tarawera eruption. The four kilometre walk to the lake was mostly downhill with lots of stops along the way to marvel at Mother Nature's wrath! A shuttle bus took us back up the hill after the boat trip. I really recommend this fascinating place, the only thing missing is dinosaurs!

Wonderful experience! Recommend going earlier in the morning or later in the day as it was quite hot when we went in the middle of the day... Definitely take water, sunscreen, hat and comfy walking shoes... The natural beauty is surreal, definitely recommend!! ?

Leisurely walk downhill with plenty of viewpoints. The walk does not need to be rushed, we had time for a pre-packed lunch at the picnic tables. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the Rotorua - Taupo region. Boat trip was informative with a close-up view of a geyser.

Easy walk from the entry to the lake. So many amazing views along the way. Lots of info boards. Loved the boat trip with the commentary from the captain 👍. Nice easy ride back on the bus. Great customer service staff. Lovely cafe at the end for cake and coffee. Totally recommend this 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.

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! :)

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 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 !

Beautiful and breathtaking volcanic view and colorful water

Inferno and frying pan are the only things to watch !!

We really enjoyed this experience - we didn’t have as much time so I am keen to return to complete the entire walk. The bus option was fabulous for the older member of our group to return back to the start but also if you did the longer walk.The site is well maintained and the information is well presented on the map and at each point. It’s hard to put in words the raw natural beauty of such a place - I was particularly impressed that it seemed untouched and less touristy than many places now in Rotorua. As a New Zealander that has been to Rotorua many times, this is one place I had never been but would be keen to return to. It was serene and beautiful.

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

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

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!

We were very impressed with this self guided walk. Beautiful scenery! There were many informational points along the way to read and a nice map to help decide which areas to explore. We did not walk all the way to the lake, it seems the first half of the walk has the majority of the "sites" and the last half of our walk was more walking along the paths. For those with mobility issues, there are some steps (don't have to go to the lookout), but the paths were mostly gravel or grass and were easy to navigate, with not too many inclines. There are bus stops along the way if you need to ride to the lake or back to the entrance. We passed very few people on our morning walk. The buses run regularly if you choose to not walk back to the entrance. We would highly recommend this self guided walk!

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

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.

Beautiful walk

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

Excellent walk - amazing scenery. Recommended

Absolutely worth seeing!

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。

Excellent experience. Easy walking done at your own pace. Good value for money except thought the cruise was over priced for what it was. Would definitely recommend!!

So beautiful! The best views are at the end of the track in bird paradise!

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

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 !
