My wife and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland and were thoroughly captivated by the experience. The well-maintained trails allowed us to easily explore this active geothermal area together. The preserved and highly active vents provided a mesmerizing spectacle, leaving us in awe of nature's power. The clear labeling of the various areas, along with detailed descriptions, made the trip not only informative but also enjoyable for both of us. Witnessing the vibrant colors of the Champagne Pool was an enchanting experience that we shared and cherished. Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland is a must-visit destination that can be enjoyed by couples, leaving them with lasting impressions and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of our planet.
This thermal park is amazing. The tracks are very easy to follow, and the information signs are easy to read and give you all the information/facts in easy to understand wording. All our family 10 people enjoyed the experience. Everything is well maintained and clean and tidy. The facilities are pristine, including the toilets. The staff are polite and very friendly, thank you :-
Cool site. If you've been to Yellowstone and seen the geothermal parts of the park and liked it, come here! Photos don't do the park justice, so I've attached some terrible videos to give some insight into what you can see here. Parts of the park have a hydrogen sulfide smell but that's expected around geothermal springs. Really unique area, just be sure to stay on the path! You don't want to join the Maori warriors who were buried here.
Must see! This area is very nicely laid out to get you up close to the thermal activity. Allow 2 hours to walk all three tracks. Each one is more interesting than the next. A bit of the walking can be strenuous, but just go slow and take your time. It's worth it! The tracks are all clearly marked and the walking route through the park is easy to follow. An amazing place! Some of my favorite photos from our trip were taken here.
Champagne pool is beautiful and it's got heaps of warm steam. Lovely walkways, but it's too hot on a sunny day in summer with only few shelters and shades. There's a souvenir shop and a Cafe with vending machines at the entrance. Fast entry on Monday, plenty of carpark outside, and not crowded inside.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
New Zealand vacation day 4 - visited one of New Zealands most popular geothermal site. Place is huge and very impressive. Gives everyone a better appreciation of our planet and how active an area New Zealand is. The sites should offset the smell...by a bit! Their gift store has some nice items as well. Definitely a stop everyone should go to when visiting New Zealand!
A wonderful world of varied Geothermal activity of various kinds in one single enclosure. The famous Lady Knox Geyser erupts once a day only and they induce it to happen at 10:15am. Prefer the Te puia geothermal park than the lady Knox geyser, but it’s good to see the both so we can have a comparison. The staff at tourist service center are nice and friendly. The pumpkin soup tastes so good especially in the freezing winter.
One of the best Geo Thermal Parks in NZ. So many interesting pools and rock formations. The trails are good and the surrounding views are fabulous. Lots of good information along the track that explains the formations and mineral composition. Reasonably priced outing and a must see when in the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Arrived just after the geyser so missed out on that. The entrance is clean and the staff friendly. Great gift shop and the restaurant looks good. The walks were good but some of the wooden steps are a bit soft and damaged underfoot. Was a very wet day but loved the walks around the thermals. Very interesting and lots of boards with information. A must to do if you are in the area.
A wonderful world of varied Geothermal activity of various kinds in one single enclosure. From steaming vents, mud pools, green and yellow lakes it's all here. This also has the multi coloured Champagne Pool and the famous Lady Knox Geyser. Be aware, the Lady Knox Geyser erupts once a day only and they induce it to happen at 10:15am. So be sure to get to the park early to be in time to purchase the tickets and drive up to the parking spot to be able to view the eruption. You have to deal with the suphurous smell. But that is also true of rest of Rotorua as well
