This was a beautiful hike and kayak experience. Our guide, Jess, was really knowledgeable about the area and kept us engaged in the experience. We were able to appreciate the steam and eruptions and enjoyed learning about the history of it all.

SO AMAZING! We went on the Waimangu Valley Walk & Steaming Cliffs Kayak Tour with Jess. This was the BEST activity I've done in Rotorua. It was astounding to walk along and stare into the abyss of the rift that ripped open after the Tarawera volcanic eruption and created this, the world's newest volcanic valley. The lake was alive with steaming cliffs and geysers, the water a swirl of volcanic heat and chilly lake water. All I could was tremble in awe feeling the power and energy of Earth reverberating around us. Jess was the best guide! She shared her profound and extensive knowledge of NZ's volcanic forces, te ao Māori and for the history of the place in an engaging way. These added dimensions added a level of depth to our visit that made me appreciate the valley even more. Thank you Jess and the Taiao Team!

Jacob did an outstanding job leading us down into the valley. Unfortunately our kayak tour portion was unavailable but the walk was fascinating and lovely. If for some reason they haven’t reopened the launch site we would recommend the guided hike alone if you have any interest in the flora, fauna, and geology of the area. With the kayak portion it would have been even more spectacular.
