Listing Details
Experience volcanic craters, two of the world’s largest hot springs, panoramic views and walks through a glorious natural setting. Waimangu is the Rotorua destination no-one should miss! Created from the devastating 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption, Waimangu is the world’s newest geothermal system, the only one created within written history and the only one wholly created directly from a volcanic eruption.
Frying Pan and Inferno Crater lakes, mysteriously linked, draw visitors from around the globe. Walking and hiking trails and tours for all ages and fitness levels lead through New Zealand bush to volcanic craters, newly forming silica terraces, unique thermal plants and steaming hot waters. Enjoy the walks, a cruise on private Lake Rotomahana with live commentary, or combine the two.
We offer a selection of tours for groups of 10 or more.
Waimangu Volcanic Valley is a multiple New Zealand Eco-Tourism Award winner. Open every day 08.30am-5pm.
