Explore the raw beauty of the World’s Youngest Geothermal Valley by foot and on the waters of Lake Rotomahana, the home of the lost Pink and White Terraces...
We had a ln overcast day but that didn’t stop us- check in was so easy- we borrowed an umbrella and had a great walk through the valley. Trails are easy and well maintained. We took to small detour up the stairs and the forest walk was peaceful. The wetlands walk was full of birds. We packed our lunch and ate at the picnic tables right by the boat dock. The ride was so nice- we could be inside or out and were comfy. The tour given by the captain was very good. Seeing the geothermal features of such an interesting place was super cool!
It was a fantastic walk and boat ride- very knowledgeable skipper. Sights were sensational. Suggested time to walk to pier should be increased from 2 hours to 2 and a half hours, at least!!!
This was an amazing place to visit, I could keep going back again and again. The lush forest combined with the volcanic landscape made for an unforgettable experience.
Wow we are New Zealanders did not know this place existed. Such an experience history lesson and proud New Zealander. Go!!!
