Reiseverlauf
Entdecken Sie die dramatische Vulkangeschichte und atemberaubende Geothermielandschaften Rotoruas auf dieser unvergesslichen ganztägigen Reise durch eine der außergewöhnlichsten Naturlandschaften Neuseelands. Die Tour beginnt mit einer malerischen Fahrt am Mount Maunganui vorbei und einem Halt am wunderschönen Mount Main Beach, der für seinen weißen Sandstrand, die Surfküste und den Blick auf das ikonische Mauao berühmt ist. Nachdem wir Tauranga hinter uns gelassen haben, reisen wir landeinwärts über den Kaituna River und fahren südlich durch Rotorua in Richtung des spektakulären Waimangu Vulkantals – dem jüngsten Geothermietal der Welt, das 1886 durch den massiven Ausbruch des Mount Tarawera entstanden ist.
Die Erfahrung beginnt mit einem geführten einstündigen Spaziergang durch das Tal, umgeben von dampfenden Landschaften, einheimischem Busch, Vulkankratern und bemerkenswerten geothermischen Merkmalen. Unterwegs entdecken Sie den berühmten Bratpfannensee, die größte heiße Quelle der Welt, den farbenfrohen Inferno-Krater und zahlreiche dampfende Schlote, Terrassen und geothermische Formationen, die von der Kraft des Ausbruchs geformt wurden. Am unteren Ende des Tals bringt uns eine kurze Shuttlefahrt zu den Ufern des wunderschönen Lake Rotomahana für eine entspannende 45-minütige Bootsfahrt über den See. Während der Kreuzfahrt hören Sie die dramatische Geschichte des Ausbruchs des Mount Tarawera und der Zerstörung der legendären Pink and White Terraces, die einst als das achte Wunder der Natur galten. Während wir den Seerand erkunden, werden Sie Zeuge von dampfenden Klippen, geothermischen Quellen, Geysiren und Wasserläufen, die direkt aus der Küstenlinie hervortreten – eine starke Erinnerung an die vulkanischen Kräfte, die heute noch unter der Region aktiv sind.
Nachdem wir Waimangu hinter uns gelassen haben, fahren wir weiter nach Süden zu den berühmten Wai-O-Tapu Schlammbecken, wo sprudelnder und spritzender Erdwärmeschlamm eines der faszinierendsten Naturschauspiele Rotoruas erzeugt. Die Rückfahrt beinhaltet einen Stopp im herrlichen Redwoods Forest, der für seine hoch aufragenden kalifornischen Mammutbäume und seine friedliche Atmosphäre bekannt ist, bevor es durch die fruchtbare Landschaft der Bay of Plenty zu einem Kiwis-Obstgarten in Paengaroa weitergeht. Hier erfahren Sie mehr über Neuseelands weltberühmte Kiwis und das reiche gärtnerische Kulturerbe der Region. Zurück zum Hafen von Tauranga, kombiniert die Waimangu Volcanic Valley & Lake Rotomahana Tour geothermale Wunder, vulkanische Geschichte, einheimische Landschaften und unvergessliche Landschaften zu einem bemerkenswerten Bay of Plenty Abenteuer.

A great place to visit to experience a great variety of geothermal landscapes. Not crowded with 3 different walks including a bus ride back at the end taking you to the visitor centre and restaurant. Homemade cake and a cup of tea is highly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with us.
Tracy was a great guide. Knew everything about the flora and fauna as well anything geothermal. Great tour of the lake as well.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. We're committed to excellence, and your review reinforces our efforts.
We enjoyed a fabulous day with Robert who picked us up from the Cruise port. Very convenient and stress-free! He took his time to show us all the sights around Tauranga before starting us on the drive to the geothermal Valley. As a retired school, principal, Robert made the hike through the Geothermal Valley most interesting with knowledgeable insights about the region’s geological features, flora, and birds. He made many stops to allow us to take photographs of the landscape. The boat ride on the lake was the cherry on the day’s tour: the captain took us right up to the boiling furmoroles. We had great pictures!
We're ecstatic to read your review! Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're delighted to have met your expectations.
The tour was great, Robert, our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We had a great time and the views are amazing. Totally worth it.

Very interesting point to view. It is the wonder of nature. The tour guide Robert is very professional and nice. A good tour!
We're over the moon to receive your glowing review! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Robert was a great guide and explained all of the geothermal activities in an interesting way. The valley itself was beautiful and the lake trip was fun. We even stopped at a kiwi farm.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. We're committed to excellence, and your review reinforces our efforts.
Our driver /guide Robert was professional and knowledgeable about New Zealand and its history . After a brief tour of the Tauranga coastline we proceeded to a redwood forest then to the geothermal tour which included a Māori dance presentation. We finished with a kiwi tasting on our return. Very worthwhile 6 hour tour
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with us.
The visit was beautiful and vastly different from a similar experience in Iceland. It felt a bit rushed as is the nature of a shore excursion when you are tied to the schedule of the ship and it seems there is always at least one person who slows down the group by holding it. Some guides impart enthusiasm (or at least pretends to) and comeraderie and others find it to be a job to move the group from A to B. Our guide was the latter which is OK but makes it feel more like a school field trip than adult day trip.
Hi Cynthia, Thank you for your review. There was plenty of time that day to get back to the ship within the allocated time of the tour. There is also an allocated time slot to do the boat ride around the lake so it is important that the walk down to the lake does progress, but 2 hours is usually more than enough time to complete the walk with plenty of time to stop and enjoy the scenery. Your guide is generally very enthusiastic doing a fantastic job of managing the groups and gets great reviews on his tours. I do believe he was getting a little frustrated with part of your group that day as you have alluded too already. It is important people are considerate of the other people on the tour and don't go wandering off.
Our excursion guide was excellent, staying with us the entire time we hiked the long beautiful trail along the geothermal river to the lake and the boat tour around the lake.
We're delighted to know that you enjoyed your time with us. Your positive feedback means the world to us.
The valley is very interesting and very nice. The tour is fantastic. We had a great time with Russel.
