Gorgeous geysers and lovely lakes - Waimangu and Waiotapu - The tour of a very small group of 4 were picked up on time by the guide/driver in a comfortable van for the approximately 11 hour trip to the Volcanic regions. Waimangu with its pristine volcanic lake was our first tour. About 30+ minutes trail took us to the area where the Waimangu geyser erupted in a volcanic activity just over a century back. We came back to the center via a bus. The trail was great with colorful rocks and trees. Second tour stop was the Waiotapu geyser lakes. These were truly astounding with pools with different colors and smell. The town was beautiful too and a reminder that a geyser can potentially open up in your backyard here. Tour guide was friendly and provided excellent support.
