Good value cheap campervans.
But they charge the same price for the old vans as they do for newer ones.

Hells Gate and Wai Ora Spa
A little overpriced.
Thermal area was good. The spa was a little too expensive. Only allowed 20 minutes in mud bath. Sulphur pool very small.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing
The Emerald and Blue Lakes are gorgeous.
However the walk back is a bit boring. I think people only do this walk just to say they have.

Huka Prawn Park
Not worth the price.
You don't have a chance of catching a prawn! Food in restaurant was very good. Not worth a day out though.
It is a shame you did not enjoy your prawn fishing. We strive very hard to ensure all our visitors have a successful fishing experience and almost all of our visitors, when following the correct techniques, do have a successful catch. We thank you for your review and will certainly be reminding our Fishing Guides of the importance of ensuring our fishermen and women are familiar with the unique techniques required, to successfully fish fo prawns!
