Explore the raw beauty of the world's youngest geothermal site on a self-guided, ecology-focused adventure among the craters of the spectacular Waimangu Volcanic Valley.
This exciting geothermal attraction has a very unique ecology with rare botany and plenty of fascinating geothermal features to explore.
See the Hypnotic steam rising from the Echo Crater, marvel at the stunning Frying Pan Lake (the world's largest hot water spring), and take in the beauty and dazzling blue of the Inferno Crater hot lake. The newly forming silica terraces are also a highlight not to be missed.
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.

Stunning lake!
인페르노 호수는 매우 환상적이었습니다. 버스 시간에 맞춰 끝까지 완주하고 돌아왔네요.

Nature's beautiful
Enjoyed the natural beauty of creation. Staff were great and so helpful. The map with instructions was most helpful. The paths were well maintained. Disappointed that the boat was not running yet.

Well worth the walk!
Unfortunately didn't leave enough time to make it all the way down to the lake but even walking to bus stop 1 was well worth the visit. Fascinating history of the volcanic activity and creation of the landforms. Great views and photo opportunities.

Awesome
Really enjoyed it. Our mobility is restricted so we were pleased to see the walk was divided into 3 section and there were 3 bus stops . We sonly walked the 1.5km to the first busstop, then hopped on the bus for the rest of tje way. The walking path was good and mostly downhill for the bit we did, but there are several steep bits where we had to take our time. Was seating along the way and information boards which along with information on yoir map, gave plenty of information. The sights were amazing, and i think the first section would have been the best.. woild definitely visit again to do the other parts and the lake cruise. Well worth a visit.
