Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Rotorua, New Zealand
Waimangu Volcanic Valley in Rotorua, New Zealand, is the youngest geothermal system in the world and it is the only geothermal system in the world wholly created within written history. Walk or hike at your own pace through amazing craters and geothermal features. See volcanic activity, native plants and bird-life in the newest geothermal system in the world. Click here to view an interactive map of the valley and its walks and boat cruise
Or call our friendly team on telephone +64 7 366 6137.
Try the advanced Mt Haszard hike high above the Valley floor. This hike does require good fitness but is well worth the effort. You'll be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Valley and surrounding region, including Rainbow Mountain, Mt Tarawera and Lake Rotomahana. You'll see towering lava cliffs plunging 56 metres deep into Fairy Crater, and the massive lava outcrops and steaming pink and red soil of the Raupo Pond and Black Craters.
Waimangu also offers a range of easy ecology-focused walks through the craters of the beautiful Waimangu Volcanic Valley, following a predominantly downhill path. Walk beside a hot water stream and see the new silica terraces forming in the Valley: the cream and gold Marble Terraces and the Warbrick Terrace, its delicate ripple terraces and the way in which it is forming so reminiscent of the world renowned Pink & White Terraces destroyed and drowned during the 1886 Tarawera volcanic eruption.
You can then take one of our courtesy shuttle buses back up the valley to the Waimangu Entrance, or follow your walk with a cruise on Lake Rotomahana (accessible only through Waimangu) to see a separate geothermal system of steaming cliffs, hot springs, geysers and fumaroles as well as the site of the destroyed famous Pink & White Terraces.
Enjoy a relaxing 45 minutes cruise, with full commentary from your skipper as he shows you sights that can only be viewed from the boat cruise. Take a moment to think how this beautiful body of water was formed, born out of the devastation of the mighty 1886 Tarawera Eruption. Fifteen years after the eruption Rotomahana had reached its current height and can now lay claim to the title of deepest lake in the North Island and newest of all New Zealand's larger, naturally formed lakes.
The unspoilt, tranquil beauty of the lake and its surroundings are protected from development, and the area is now a wildlife refuge which large numbers of birds make their home all year round.
For the Walking Tour and Boat Cruise allow approximately 3 hours and make sure you dress for the weather including good walking shoes. At the end of your walk enjoy food and refreshments in our Café Nature@Waimangu, or browse our gift shop stocked with New Zealand made gifts and souvenirs.
Waimangu Volcanic Valley, New Zealand
Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley is the hydrothermal system created on 10 June 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera, on the North Island of New Zealand. It encompasses Lake Rotomahana, the former site of the Pink and White Terraces, as well as the location of the Waimangu Geyser, which was active from 1900 to 1904. The area has been increasingly accessible as a tourist attraction and contains Frying Pan Lake, which is the largest hot spring in the world, and the steaming and usually pale blue Inferno Crater Lake, the largest geyser-like feature in the world although the geyser itself cannot be seen since it plays at the bottom of the lake.
Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. This name comes from the water that was thrown up by the Waimangu Geyser, which was black with mud and rocks.
As a rare eco-system completely naturally re-established following a volcanic eruption, Waimangu is protected as a Scenic Reserve, administered by the Department of Conservation NZ. The developing local native forest is the only current New Zealand instance of vegetation re-establishing from complete devastation without any human influence such as planting. Many of Waimangu's geothermal features are ranked as Category A - extremely important, of international significance.
The largest volcanic eruption in the past 700 years in New Zealand, the 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption, created the geo-thermal area of the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley. The valley lies at the south-western end of the 17-kilometre (11 mi) rift created in this one-day eruption. All vegetation in the Waimangu Valley was completely destroyed by the eruption and the area was covered in mud and volcanic ash on average 20 metres (66 ft) thick.
Over the decade following the Mount Tarawera eruption, hydrothermal surface activity and geothermal features permanently established themselves in the Waimangu Valley, even though no such activity had been reported there before 1886. Plant life slowly re-established itself around the turn of the century as the new soil began to settle and stabilise. -Wiki

#4 Today you will get to explore The Waimangu Volcanic Valley with me. I was not expecting this place to be as cool as it was. I was beyond impressed after my experience coming here.
The tickets cost $37 per person which I thought was pretty spendy considering what I was seeing. But after experiencing everything in the valley I found spending the money was absolutely worth it. I really have seen nothing like it in my life.
The Nature and scenery is incredible! This is the world's youngest geothermal system.
This was a self guided tour which I thought was nice so you can go at your own pace.
Here is some additional information:
The exciting thermal attraction and sightseeing tours include unique ecology, rare botany and fascinating geothermal features such as steaming volcanic crater lakes. A protected scenic reserve and wildlife refuge, Waimangu Volcanic Valley geothermal park encompasses beautiful Lake Rotomahana and is set in pristine New Zealand bush. Waimangu Volcanic Valley is just 20 minutes south of Rotorua and 40 minutes north of Taupo.
View Waimangu's steaming landscape and other fascinating geothermal features as you follow our crater walkways. Choose an easy-walking track or take an invigorating hike to enjoy superb panoramas.The courtesy Shuttle Bus runs through the valley regularly and can return you to our Visitor Centre.

The Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley is the hydrothermal system created on 10 June 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera, on the North Island of New Zealand. It encompasses Lake Rotomahana, the site of the Pink and White Terraces, as well as the location of the Waimangu Geyser, which was active from 1900 to 1904. The area has been increasingly accessible as a tourist attraction and contains Frying Pan Lake, which is the largest hot spring in the world, and the steaming and usually pale blue Inferno Crater Lake, the largest geyser-like feature in the world although the geyser itself cannot be seen since it plays at the bottom of the lake.
Waimangu is a Māori-language word meaning black water. This name comes from the water that was thrown up by the Waimangu Geyser, which was black with mud and rocks.
From the 1890s onwards, the valley has gradually been re-populated naturally by plants ranging from hot water-loving algae and bacteria to mosses and many species of native ferns, shrubs and trees. These in turn support native birdlife including kereru, tui, fantail, bellbird, and pukeko, as well as introduced bird species such as mynah, magpie, shining cuckoo, finch and sparrow. A population of black swan thrives in the lower parts of the valley and on Lake Rotomahana. According to local guides, these have been introduced to the region from Western Australia by George Edward Grey in the 19th century along with wallaby.
As a rare eco-system completely naturally re-established following a volcanic eruption, Waimangu is protected as a Scenic Reserve, administered by the Department of Conservation NZ. The developing local native forest is the only current New Zealand instance of vegetation re-establishing from complete devastation without any human influence such as planting.

Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley in New Zealand
I decided to check out Waimangu, a volcanic valley created from a huge volcanic explosion from Mount Tarawera. This area created bubbling hot springs and rifts. I'm pretty sure this area got decimated when the volcano erupted, but after many many years, this place is now full of lush vegetation. Stepping into Waimangu seemed like I was stepping back into prehistoric time; far from the contrast that is Rotorua. You wouldn't think this place existed, but it's nicely tuck away in this valley rift. The warmth from the volcano and hot spring makes it almost like a tropical rainforest even though this part of the globe will get heavy snow in the winter. Frying Pan Lake is a hot spring in Waimangu, and it is the biggest hot spring in the world. I only had 2 hours,maybe a little more to spend in Waimangu. Since I didn't rent a car, I had to take a shuttle bus to drop me off here, and they said I had to be back at a certain time. If time permits, definitely spend more than the 2 hours I stayed. The hiking trail is fairly easy, but I had to rush it going down the valley to the lake, which took about 1 hour. If you pace it, you'll easily get there in 2 hours, but you'll have more of an appreciation. music credit to flipwillie

Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Frying Pan Lake, Inferno Crater & Huka Falls | New Zealand Vlog 07
08. März 2018
Nach unserem Frühstück mit Blick in unseren schönen Mad Campers Campervan ging es nach Waimangu ins Volcanic Valley. Zwischen all den dampfenden und blubbernden Gewässern, wie zum Beispiel dem Bratpfannen See (Frying Pan Lake) und dem Inferno Crater Lake, haben wir nach Dinosaurier Ausschau gehalten und den offiziellen Jurassic Park Theme Song gesungen. Danach ging es im Regen weiter zu den unglaublich blauen Huka Falls, wo wir uns aufgrund des miesen Wetters leider nicht lange aufhielten. Geschlafen haben wir auf dem Freedom Campingplatz Five Mile Bay Recreation Reserve.
