  • Great experience and I'd suggest to use the guided tours starting every hour on the hour.

    A maori guide explained us interesting things on geothermal phenomenon and Maori culture. Beside the thermal park you can see an art and crafts center.

  • Spectacular geysers!

    The park itself is not really big but some nice walks. Go see the Kiwi and if interested, the Maori Culture show.

  • We really enjoyed the performance (song and dance), the geyser was awe-inspiring and the kiwi bird adorable.

    The plaques were informative, the food on offer could have been healthier.

  • A pity that these nature beauties have to be watched from behind fences.

    Unfortunately, we missed the Maori cultural show - might have been nice.

  • Conveniently located with awesome geysers, thermal vents, along with cultural activities.

    Doing the free guided tour is a must! Slightly touristy and over priced, but overall a great stop to see thermal activity.

    As well, I got to see a Maori performance which was impressive but a bit short. Overall quite expensive.

  • A huge number of geysers and thermal springs.

    There also mud pools to see. It feels quite commercialised and on the expensive side.

  • Insight into Maori Culture while being open about tourism being an industry.

    Knowledgeable guides with a great combination of fact, fiction, culture and childhood anecdotes. I would recommend a bit of reading into the history but the whole park includes geysers, kiwi, maori buildings and performance plus the art, history and creation story.

  • Wonderful experience.

    Entrance fee is a bit expensive considering the currency exchange rate. Could not see anything in the Kiwi bird viewing as it was very dark. Highlight of the day is the famous geysier. Guided tour is available for Free. I prefer the male tourguide as his speech is more interesting and he is the direct descendent of a famous warrior (cant remember the name thou).

    It was very empty. The sights were okay but not amazing. Might be better if we paid extra for the Maori experience.

  • A beautiful place to watch geysers and to walk around and experience on our own.

    The Maori show was also a plus although it was very pricey considering how much you get out of it.
