Waimangu Volcanic Valley was forced out of a cataclysmic volcanic eruption, giving birth to the world's newest geothermal area and providing a living testament to both the power and tenacity of nature.

Today on the guided Waimangu Round Trip you can learn the stories of the 1886 Tarawera Eruption and explore Rotorua's natural history as you enjoy the walking tour of your choice around the amazing craters and geothermal sites that lie within the lush green native forest of Waimangu Volcanic Valley.

Enjoy a picnic lunch during a relaxing Boat Cruise on Lake Rotomahana, a wildlife sanctuary and home to many species of native and exotic birds. But that's not all there is to the Lake Rotomahana cruise. You'll be taken close to steaming cliffs, gushing hot springs and across the sites of the destroyed Pink and White Terraces - all features only able to be seen from our boat.

Walk across the uninhabited wilderness area of Te Ariki Isthmus, the scene of a year-long land war between Maori in the 1850's and where many perished during the 1886 eruption. On your boat cruise across beautiful Lake Tarawera your skipper will entertain you with the facts and legends surrounding the eruption and the Pink and White Terraces. Then visit the prehistoric Maori rock paintings at Tarawera Landing where your tour ends.
