A geothermal valley at 587 Waimangu Road in Rerewhakaaitu, near Rotorua, created by the 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera. The valley has walking and hiking trails through craters, hot springs and native bush, and the website says it is home to some of the world's unusual geothermal features. A narrated boat cruise on Lake Rotomahana, about 45 minutes long, takes visitors to the site of the Pink and White Terraces. The half-day experience is booked online, and the website advises booking ahead, especially in summer.
As at 2026, the website offers a spring price of $99 for adults and $50 for children, against normal prices of $180 and $99. Payment on site is by card only. Reviewers on the website say the boards and guides were informative, the views and photo spots were good, and the lake cruise was relaxing. They describe the walk down through the valley as easy, at about 4 km, and say that a free bus takes walkers back up after the boat. One reviewer said the walk took three hours. The website shows no complaints.
