Fantastic Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Couldn't have asked for better. Great 2 hour walk down to where we got on the boat for the lake trip. Whilst walking down we were able to enjoy the full benefits of the geothermal activity within the area. Each individual viewing area had a board spelling out the nature of the activity going on. When on the boat the 'skipper' provided an easily understood talk on what we were seeing and the background to what had happened during the previous volcanic activities. Highly recommended

Fascinating trip through geothermal events happening live

Published on Jan, 2025

Fascinating engaging and educational experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk which was on a warm day and in the sun, so don't underestimate how warm you can get. It is truly amazing to see how the valley has changed in just over 100 years, and the newly formed lakes are incredible. The whole team including the lake cruise made this a memorable experience. Highly recommended +++ Minor slight quibble: the buses bringing you back up to the start are so old they emit more pollution than the rest of the geothermal vents put together. Isn't it time to retire them for EVs.....?

This was a must-do experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

The staff was so accommodating, helpful, and educational. We initially reserved tickets for the walk and boat ride, but we were informed that the boat would be undergoing renovations and would not be available. We had planned to go just for the walk but upon arrival we were informed that the boat was completed earlier than expected! The staff went out of their way to ensure we made it to the boat on time and truly made our experience so memorable. The boat tour was our favorite part, our guide Martin was very friendly and educational. The boat was extremely comfortable and the view on the tour was amazing! The walk afterward was awesome, and we loved reading the history and fun facts associated with each stop. I would highly recommend the Volcanic Valley - must do experience in the area! Thank you to the staff for going out of the way to make this such a great day for us.
