Loved this park.
One of my favourites in the North Island. Loads of trails (probably need more than a day to see them all), very well marked and signed.

During the 90 minute walk you get an impressive overview of different geothermal activities (mud pools, blowholes, craters).
Nice price/performance ratio.

Very interesting landscape, have not seen anything like that before, worth it to pay for it.

Nice walk through a geothermal landscape close to Taupo.
The walkways are mostly brand new and guarantee an easy walk. $8 is fair for what you get. Nice staff, welcoming you, clean toilets and a sweet gift shop.

Nice walk for $8, very welcoming people at the entrance.
It is a 45 minute walk in the centre of many volcanic activities. But not so impressive for us after other places in South America.

The price is okay ($8), it is interesting to see the fumeroles, the walkway/path is very well maintained, but on the whole nothing extraordinary.

3.5/5
Interesting if you want to see a few fumeroles and boiling mud.
Only $8 per person.
