Daily Wai-O-Tapu & Waimangu Volcanic Valley Tour
This half-day tour departs Rotorua Central daily between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM and returns you back to Rotorua Central between 12:30 PM and 1:00 PM.
We’ll pick you up from your Rotorua Central accommodation and drive through picturesque forestry and farmland to the stunning geothermal heartland of the North Island.
Firstly, your guide will lead you through Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, where you’ll witness New Zealand’s largest boiling mud pool, a series of vibrant hot springs, and dramatic volcanic features. Don’t miss the spectacular Lady Knox Geyser eruption at 10:15 AM!
Next, we take a short drive to the Waimangu Volcanic Valley. Your guide will explain how the Mt. Tarawera eruption shaped this spectacular, regenerated bush-covered ecosystem and geothermal park. This award-winning ecotourism adventure is an experience you won’t want to miss!
