I took my 2 grandchildren of 7 and 11 years. The three of us had a great time. The ferry ride was a lovely way to start and end the trip. The boardwalk made the walk easy to negotiate. The mudholes fascinated us. The geysers had us waiting for the big one. The terraces were really interesting. The views were great. The seating was appreciated. The whole experience was casual, at our own pace and enjoyable because of that. The staff were very friendly. Thanks
The whole family really enjoyed this. My 4yo who never walks anywhere walked the whole way so must have been having a great time.
We had no idea this place existed! After visiting many other thermal areas this was by far in the top 3. We will be back for sure
Awesome.Cool boat driver....
Amazing landscape. Incredible colours and textures. It all looks like if it were another planet. The park is very organized and the walk is easy. It is definitely a must do!
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Our 1 year old was super comfy in the free baby carrier, and our 3 year old surprisingly walked the whole way! Very well organised, well maintained tracks, and bonus of the nice cafe for a hot drink before/after.
Amazing!
Beautiful view, All family members like the place
I didn't know fully what to expect when booking this activity but I am soooooo glad I did!!! I love that a small ferry takes you across the lake to the geothermal park where you are free to take your time to wander around and take it all in! The rise in temperature is noticeable even on a overcast day so recommend taking at least a water bottle over with you. Free to roam until you have had enough then simple return to the dock and push a buzzer to notify the boat driver you're ready to come back and they will collect you. Staff were great in explaining what happens and what to do in the event of an emergency!
Fantastic experience, very different from the usual stuff, super friendly staff, well worth the money & the journey
Loved being able to explore at our own pace. Boardwalk and stairs are well maintained and we were able to get really close to all the amazing features of this park. Easily accessible from Taupo. Highly recommend.
Fantastic geothermal experience! The reception briefed us the health & safety and important instuctions and the ferrymen operated the ferry with great expertise. The geothermal park & cave are beyond my expectation. I am so pleased to see the gushing geysers, hot springs, and bubbling mud pools in my short trip.
Amazing experience
Amazing views! Highly recommend
Wow! A fantastic outing for the whole family. Very friendly staff. Welcoming. A lot of work has been done since our last visit and it made the experience all the more enjoyable. Captured the kids interest and wonder. We'll worth the visit. Would highly recommend.
Self guided tour around this very neat area. Not like some of the more touristy experiences around so it felt authentic and largely untouched by humans.
Really great experience! Strongly recommend and is a must-do if you pass around Taupo/Rotorua. We're moved to another planet or age! The staff was very friendly and kind! Please reserve at least 1.3hour to have a good experience.
Friendly staff, gorgeous nature, and interesting smells, what more can you ask for? The boardwalk is well maintained and there is lots to look at.
Wonderful
It was so nice out there. We camped in the carpark and were the first one on the island, so it was quiet and nice. Due to a little bit of rain the experience got even better :-) A must do! If you have a camper van just stay there the night before!
Easy walk, so many cool things to see! Book it, you won’t regret it!
New Zealand has lots of beautiful places but this one is really special. Raw thermal energy. Self guided meant we could spend as much time as we wanted to see the geysers. Hosts were very welcoming.
We ad an unforeseen event, we managed the visit and we loved it, quiet walk, very well signposted place and very kind and safe ferry service!
Wonderful walk, very pleasant and doable for most! Beautiful views!
We had some really great times in the geothermal park Orakei Korako. All the geothermal The staff was friendly and the ferry was running there and back on request.
Great experience, even better on a wet day like ours. Seemed to make the experience more mysterious. My kids loved it. Great service and the tracks were easy to navigate and family friendly. Definitely recommend.
We had a great experience in Orakei Korako. Not only was it breathtakingly beautiful and an unforgettable experience but the staff/owners were all friendly and accommodating. Thank you heaps!
