We went here for first time and were not disappointed. The walk was really nice with so many locations to see on the way to the jetty. Only downside was they need to upgrade the boat as the viewing deck was small and also they need more food and beverages selections when they upgrade the boat. Otherwise its must visit site when in Rotorua. Its really flat and easy walk.
Kia ora Ronak, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed your walk and will take your suggestions into consideration! :-)
Some pressure to catch the boat in time with little kids in tow (6 & 3), but we made it fine on the 1hr 45m walk in 2 hours with a few piggybacks! Boat ride was lovely, amazing skipper (staff in general were fabulous). Souvenir shop has some lovely stuff.
Walk OK, No need for x-tra hiking, nothing to See there. Needed about 1 and a half to the boat. Boat trip was ok as Well, nothing spectacular. Volcanic stuff... A lot of bus Traffic destroys the 'magic' as well. Would definitely not recommend for full price.
Nice nature walk for a bit of exercise. But the fact you have to pay so much for it makes it very underwhelming. The boat ride barely has anything interesting to look at. Timing wise everything works really well. No waiting around for the boat or bus which was very impressive and made the experience tolerable. Staff are all amazing and the path is well maintained and really easy to walk on. But again… the price seems ludicrous. Perhaps if the boat ride offered a swim it might be more interesting.

힐링의 시간이였습니다
2시간 정도 소요되는 트랙킹 거리가 부담이 될수도 있지만 천천히 자연을 느끼며 걸으니 힐링이 되더라구요.. 아이와 함께 한다면 천천히 걸으시면 좋을거 같아요..시간적 여유가 있다면 보트타는것도 추천합니다..그리고 bookme를 통해 할인된 티켓 구입으로 더 좋았습니다..^^
