Waimangu Volcanic Valley and Lake Rotomahana

Just 20 minutes south of Rotorua, Waimangu Volcanic Valley geothermal park encompasses beautiful Lake Rotomahana and is set in pristine NZ forestry. Lake Rotomahana is the newest of NZ’s larger, naturally formed lakes – protected as a wildlife refuge, it's home to large numbers of birds all year round. Relax on a cruise seeing rare geothermal sights not accessible on foot or hike through the inspiring native bush. Intact remnants of the fabled Pink & White Terraces, once the 8th Wonder of the World & buried in June 1886 when Mt Tarawera erupted, have been found on the bed of the lake.
