We went on the Waimangu & Wai O Tapu tour with Lydia on 9th June. It was well planned by her and stuck to timings excellent. Her knowledge of the area, the history was very good. Above these, wherever we went, we noticed that the people in these attractions were always delighted to have Lydia come in with her guests indicating how well she has maintained relationships!
Overall, we had a good tour and met a good person in Lydia!

The parks are beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Our trip was during the low season so we had the whole park to ourselves, which was pretty great.

A solid tour, but minus a star for badly written pick up instructions and Brian’s bad communication skills.
The tour itself has a good pace, plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature and take photos. Just the right amount of commentary to provide context to the sights as well.

Great way to see Rotorura geothermal sites without a car. Just sit back and enjoy the day. Walking down the hill in the volcanic valley might be a but difficult for people who aren’t super fit, but there’s a bus that takes you uphill. So glad I booked this. Met and solo traveler and we did the Treewalk after.
