-
How is Waimangu different to other geothermal attractions?
Waimangu Volcanic Valley is the world’s youngest geothermal system. Waimangu was created by the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886, whereas other geothermal attractions in the area have been around for thousands of years. The features in the valley are constantly changing. It is the only example of a native NZ eco-system that has regenerated following destruction from a volcanic event. Waimangu is also quieter than other attractions.
We recommend visiting more than one geothermal attraction to see and compare a wider range of geothermal features.
-
Will I see the Pink & White Terraces?
Unfortunately, no. The Pink & White terraces were destroyed or buried in the eruption of Mt Tarawera in 1886. The boat cruise takes you to the original sites of the terraces on the new, much larger Lake Rotomahana.
-
Can I take photos?
Of course! There are so many fantastic opportunities to take photos and we’d love to see them! Feel free to share them on social media and #Waimangu

I want to do something special for a special occasion
Fantastic! Contact us to discuss options for your visit. We can arrange a gourmet picnic at one of the picnic areas, or charter a cruise on Lake Rotomahana just for your group.
