    The whole trip is so fascinating although one should be aware that this is actually more than an hour walk. The wood carving station is also fantastic!

    Completely worth booking the tour through the Geothermal Reserve. Our guide, Luuk was amazing! He had a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge. We learned a lot from him. He was also very patient with our questions and took the time to take pictures for us. You can do the tour without a guide but the guide adds so much more to the experience. The mud bath was an amazing experience. It was very relaxing. Also in August there are less tourists, so we basically had the bath to ourselves! I think during summer it is much, much busier! You can shower in private showers near the baths instead of the open change rooms (I did not like the open change rooms). The employees are all very helpful and pleasant. We used old bathing suits for the mud bath and disposed of them afterwards. Some people say the smell lingers on your skin for days, but we did not find it stayed for more than a day. Overall a great experience and we would do it again if we come back to New Zealand.

    Definitely worth the guided tour! Really beautiful to look at and enjoyed learning about the facts and stories told with it from our amazing guide Luke! Special mention to Luke he made the experience 10x better. We enjoyed do the woodwork shop afterwards I didn't get the older gentleman's name but he was also wonderful to interact with. It was an afternoon/evening we will remember fondly ☺️ all the staff were friendly, welcoming and approachable, but those two gentleman stood out to us. Then doing the mud bath and spas with a cold plunge *optional* was very relaxing with a stunning view. Can't recommend enough!!!!

    We attended the guided tour of the geothermal reserve and I could not rate this experience enough. Our guide (with the very long name ) was fantastic with a rich knowledge of the Maori culture. The mud spa was also a fabulous place to relax and unwind.

    The size of the activity was impressive. Large areas of geothermal activity. Of special interest was the bush walk and the sulphur effect on the trees. Well worth the cost. Enjoyed the ambience😊 Should be advertised locally
