Every gazing moment was W🤩W, for me it was like a moonlit night, shining through the dense canopy of tree tops while floating around inside a cave 'with so much history' ❤️ out of respect for the iwi and the glow worms 🐛 no photo's 📱📸 while visiting the cave, however you can take pics exiting the cave, absolutely beautiful tour guide, he explained the history 👌🏽❤️ answered Q and explained the 'dos and don'ts' all said professionally and with love 'Ka pai u Sasha'
Totally recommend 👌🏽 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The tour of the film set was fantastic. Everything is really well-maintained and very well organized. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, and we took some wonderful photos. It's definitely a must-see for fans of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" when visiting New Zealand. Even for those who haven't seen the films, it's absolutely worth seeing because of the unique scenery!

The geyser was great and I was able to get pictures and video. For the best places to sit, you should get there early. We went on the 45 minute walk because I have a knee injury. There are a 60 and 90 minute walk also. It was great but it probably took us longer because of taking pictures and I have to be careful with my knee. I loved all the thermal activity and the craters were interesting. This was my first experience of this sort, and I am very glad we went.
