Waimagu Volcanic Valley is a protected scenic reserve and includes the beautiful Lake Rotomahana. The entire valley is shrouded in pristine native forest providing sanctuary for a wide variety of New Zealand birdlife.
At any stage during your walk, you can jump on board a courtesy shuttle which regularly circles the valley back to the Waimangu Visitor Centre.
There are a range of walking options for all abilities and ambitions including:
Easy Walking
A range of easy, mainly downhill walkways through pristine native bush, teeming with spectacular birdlife and geothermal highlights. Encounter hot pools, steaming volcanic craters, newly forming silica terraces, rare geothermal plants and the multi-coloured rocks of this mysterious and beautiful valley.
Mt Haszard Hiking Trail
If your looking for a bit more of an expedition opt for an invigorating hike along the Mt Haszard Hiking Trail taking you high above the valley floor with superb panoramic views of the unique landscape.
Beginning at the inferno crater the Mt Haszard trail follows parts of the original Waimangu walking route from the early 1900's when visitors came to view the Waimangu Geyser erupting.
Waimangu Volcanic Valley is just 20 minutes South of Rotorua or 40 minutes North of Taupo.

조용한가운데 산책
첫번째 입장으로 조용한 가운데 지열지대 산책을 한 것이 오래도록 기억에 남을것 같다 코스설명이 잘되어 있어 코스대로 이동하기 쉬웠고 시간여유가 없어 호수를 못간 것이 아쉬운 점으로 남는다

뉴질랜드의 또 다른 모습
화산지대를 방문해서 유황도 보고 펄펄 끓는 분출수도 보고, 호기심에 옆으로 흐르는 가는 물에 손을 살짝 담갔다가 '앗!! 뜨거!!', 지나가던 분이 아침에 와서 커피넣고 아래에 컵 놓아두면 한잔의 커피를 즐길 수 있다고 농담도 하고 가신다. 새로운 뉴질랜드를 본 기분이다. 너무 즐겁고 황홀한 광경이였다

Interesting but underwhelming experience
While the geothermal features were unique, the walk felt repetitive and lacked excitement. The trails were well-maintained, and the shuttle was convenient, but it didn’t feel like a must-do. ⭐ 3/5 – Worth a visit if you love geothermal landscapes, but not thrilling.

Never Before Experienced Wonder of Nature
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our self guided walk around on a perfect day at Waimangu Volcanic Valley. There were easy and difficult levels so you got to experience everything without too much strain. There were sights everywhere and the information boards and artwork that were along the trails allowed you to be constantly connected and i=-understanding of what you were seeing and experiencing. The thermal pools added to the colour of the surrounds and the eerie tendrils of steam coming from the ground and mountain side added another aspect to this intriguing place. Thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone visiting this area of Rotorua. Fabulous.

정말 강력추천합니다!
와이오타푸 써말렌드를 다녀와서 혹시 비슷하진 않을까 걱정했는데, 전혀 달라요. 와이오타푸가 조금더 테마파크같고 아기자기 하다면 와이망구볼캐닉밸리는 정말 대자연을 볼수있어요! 돌아오느길은 버스타고 돌아올수있어 참좋앗습니다.
