Explore the raw beauty of the world's youngest geothermal site on a self-guided, ecology-focused adventure among the craters of the spectacular Waimangu Volcanic Valley.
What a fantastic hidden gem! We went to Waimangu on a Tuesday and had the place almost to ourselves. It made experiencing the beauty of the area even more special. The facilities are great, and the map told us everything we need to know about each of the featured stops. The bright blue crater that reaches 80° was gorgeous! We loved that the bus picked us up at the end of the walk. It makes it so much easier for children or elderly to enjoy this walk too. Unfortunately the track was under repair so we could only experience half the walk, which we wish we had known before booking. Something to be mindful of is the park is located at the very end of Waimangu Rd, don’t stop at the farm address listed!
It was great! However, only after paying they said that 2/3 of the park were closed off…
It was a very nice walk althought a cloudy morning. Few people and nice places. For nature lovers

Awesome
Really enjoyed it. Our mobility is restricted so we were pleased to see the walk was divided into 3 section and there were 3 bus stops . We sonly walked the 1.5km to the first busstop, then hopped on the bus for the rest of tje way. The walking path was good and mostly downhill for the bit we did, but there are several steep bits where we had to take our time. Was seating along the way and information boards which along with information on yoir map, gave plenty of information. The sights were amazing, and i think the first section would have been the best.. woild definitely visit again to do the other parts and the lake cruise. Well worth a visit.
