I enjoyed Waimangu, the walk isnt at all difficult and it has a feel of hiking through a national park with some amazing thermal activity to watch. A really good day out. More

The cruise is great as ong as you have fine weather. The steaming cliffs and mini guysers are good too. Decent cafe and gift shop has quality stuff. More

we were blown away by this amazing location! it is like stepping back in time to, as the motto says, 'where life began'. beyond the simply mind blowing natural features, the information provided on the self-guided tour sheet was both informative and fascinating (no easy balance to achieve). staff that we encountered were enthusiastic to share their knowledge and expertise....

Good commentary on the boat trip around Lake Rotomahana, lots of bus or walking options to access the lakes and plenty of little geysers and coloured pools along the track. Well organised and signposted and, dare I say it, better than Whakarewarewa, but I lived in Rotorua for some years as a child and probably take most of the overpriced... More
