Very nice walk but because the Lady Knox show is only once a day, the park became extremely crowded. We personally preferred Pohutu geyser, and would suggest skipping Lady Knox or walking the park early to avoid crowds.

Stepping into Hell's Gate Geothermal Park in Rotorua felt like entering a prehistoric world. This place is an absolute must-visit! The guided tour, which was nothing short of excellent. Seeing the steaming fumaroles, the boiling mud, and the raw power of the landscape up close was a truly epic experience—nature at its most fierce and beautiful. But the real magic happened afterwards at the mud spa. After exploring the active thermal park, dipping into the geothermal mud baths and sulphur spas was pure heaven. It was superbly refreshing to soak in the warm, nutrient-rich waters while looking out over the misty, unique landscape. What I loved most is how inclusive it is. It really is suitable for all age groups; my whole family, from the elders to the little ones, had a fantastic time. It is the perfect blend of education, adventure, and pure relaxation. If you are in Rotorua, do not miss Hell's Gate. It is an experience for the soul!

A wonderful cultural overview, thanks to Mr T and his cousins for their enthusiasm and making it a great experience. Unfortunately we didn’t see the kiwi birds and we had some rain but it didn’t ruin the well organised tour. The buffet was excellent, oysters, mussels in white sauce, a range of salads and hot food and desserts. The evening finished with a beautiful haka show.

The tour guide was friendly and helpful. If you enjoy natural scenery, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Blue Spring are must-visit attractions.
