Morning Tour

The morning tour departs daily between 8:00-8:30 a.m. from your accommodation and drives you through forestry and farmland to New Zealand’s largest boiling mud pool. Your guide shows you a series of colourful hot springs and volcanic features at Wai-O-Tapu. Around 10.15 a.m. we head over to see the Lady Knox geyser eruption.

Next, we take you on a short drive to the Waimangu Volcanic Valley where your guide explains the Mt. Tarawera eruption which blew open this spectacular, bush covered, geothermal park!

Afternoon Tour

Take a journey with a local guide in the footprints of the Maori tribe “Tuhourangi”. The afternoon is spent learning about the history of the pink and white terraces and the great 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera that destroyed both the tribal village and the terraces. To bring the story alive visits are made to:

  • The Buried Village
  • Whakarewarewa – The Living Maori Village
  • Lake Tarawera, Lake Tikitapu & Lady Rotokakahi (Green lake)
  • Views of Mt. Tarawera Volcano

The tour departs at 1:00 pm and returns at approximately 5:00 pm.

Excellent Eco Thermal Park tours

"Took the full day tour. The morning tour on Eco Thermal parks was really outstanding and not to be missed. The afternoon tour on the Buried Village and Living Maori Village was good though not as spectacular as the signts in the morning tour. The blue and green lakes were sort of disappointing - it was just a quick photo stop. Guide was excellent and tour was well organized."
