Itinéraire
La piscine de boue du parc thermal Wai-O-Tapu, près de Rotorua, est l'un des sites géothermiques les plus actifs de Nouvelle-Zélande. Elle est constituée de boue bouillonnante et bouillante créée par l'activité géothermique souterraine. La boue épaisse et grise bouillonne constamment en raison de la libération de gaz volcaniques, offrant une démonstration fascinante de la puissance brute de la nature. La piscine de boue se trouve dans un cratère formé par une éruption volcanique et constitue une attraction populaire pour les visiteurs intéressés par les phénomènes géothermiques.
Le geyser Lady Knox, situé dans le parc thermal de Wai-O-Tapu, près de Rotorua, en Nouvelle-Zélande, est un geyser de source chaude naturel qui entre en éruption tous les jours à 10 h 15. Déclenchées par un tensioactif introduit par le personnel du parc, ses éruptions peuvent atteindre une hauteur de 10 à 20 mètres et durer environ une heure. Le geyser a été découvert au début du XXe siècle et doit son nom à Lady Constance Knox, la fille d'un ancien gouverneur de Nouvelle-Zélande.

The trails have inclines and may be difficult for some people. The experience was marvelous. So many geothermal cavities and large ponds. I was very impressed. The views of surrounding trees and mountains was beautiful.

Our morning tour was a great experience. We were picked up right on time and got to see everything we hoped to see. Karen and Slim were great hosts! They gave us lots of history and information about the area on our drives which was so nice! We really enjoyed this experience!

They picked me up on time, our guide was very friendly, we went to all the places mentioned and gave us information about the city, the only thing is that I found it a little expensive for the tour that was done, but I also know that this is the whole of New Zealand, likewise, for comfort and security issues, if I recommend it

We truly appreciate your understanding of local costs in New Zealand and your recommendation based on comfort and safety. We hope to welcome you again on another journey!
Against a very unstable rainy weather, my experience with the tour was really exiting. I was the only passenger in the van and we had a very interesting conversation with my guide and driver
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊. We’re glad the tour was still enjoyable despite the rainy weather, and that the private setting and engaging conversation with your guide made the day special. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in better weather next time!
This is overpriced. Our bus driver was nice, he took us to mud pools and to the geyser on time then on to Waiotapu. But it is not worth the price tag at all, I think there are a lot of improvements that could be made, and the price should be dropped considerably to make this worth purchasing.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your driver and the timely visits to the mud pools, geyser, and Waiotapu. We hope that you chose to purchase the tour after reading the descriptions, so your expectations matched the experiences included. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding improvements and pricing, and we’ll take them into consideration as we continue to enhance our tours.
The first stop on the tour was unnecessary, and would have preferred to stay longer at the mud pools.
Hi Helen, Thank you for your feedback. The stop at Sulphur Point is included to give our guests a brief introduction to Rotorua’s geothermal landscape, particularly the distinctive sulphur scent and natural features, before they experience it more extensively at Wai-O-Tapu. Many of our guests have found this preview helpful and informative. That said, we completely understand your preference for spending more time at the mud pools, and we truly value your input. We'll certainly take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our tour experience. Warm regards, Enzoy Tours
Some really epic views of volcanic landscapes. Really enjoyable and the walk can be made easier or harder depending on your fitness. The one criticism I would have is that the digital voiceover for the commentary is a bit grating.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the epic volcanic landscapes and appreciated the flexibility of the walk based on fitness levels. We truly value your input regarding the digital voiceover. We use it to ensure that the commentary remains clear and consistent for all our guests, especially since we welcome visitors from all over the world. A neutral accent helps make the experience more accessible, and digital narration also helps us present historical facts accurately and uniformly. That said, we understand it may not be everyone's preference, and we’ll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue improving the experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The provider deserves a medal! He did everything he could to make our tour enjoyable. Such pity that that some of the guests did thrir best to ruin it be being late for pickup snd two not arriving at all while we waited. This meant we missed time specific events. Dinesh deserves a medal.
Hi Terry, Thank you for your honest review and for appreciating Dinesh’s efforts. We’re sorry about the delays caused by other guests and completely understand how frustrating that can be. We always strive to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. We also hope that the 3-star rating reflects the inconvenience caused by unpunctual guests rather than the effort we put into making the tour a great experience. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!
