As a geothermal geologist I have visited all the commercial geothermal tourist sites. Waimangu is my favourite. It has a beautiful natural setting walking down thru forests with a bus return uphill.

A peaceful quiet walk in the rain. We came here on a rainy day, as there wasn’t much else to do outside when in rains in Rotorua.

In the meantime mum and the other girls enjoyed the boat trip. Definitely to be recommended for anyone who enjoys…
