SF Posted February 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We only have time to do one of the tours mentioned in the title of this thread. Has anyone been to either of them or both and which would you suggest and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFL Kiwi Posted February 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Definitely Waiotapo. A wonderful walk in the thermal park. Allow yourself about 1hr 30 to take it all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying to my post. Was just wondering how bad the sulphur smell is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Te Aroha Posted March 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thanks for replying to my post. Was just wondering how bad the sulphur smell is. Rotorua or any thermal area equals sulphur smell some of the time, what I will say is that after approx 10 minutes you wont smell it any more as you get used to the smell. I would also recommend Waiotapu this is where we take any overseas visitors that we meet on cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted March 2, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 2, 2017 We've decided to visit Waiotapu. As for the sulfur smell hopefully it won't bother us as one person in our party has allergies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrYellowDuck Posted March 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Waiotapu by a million miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver and Gold Posted March 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I also recommend Wai-o-Tapu. It's amazing! I don't remember it smelling that badly, but there is a lot of steam in the air. It may be worth carrying scarves that you can cover your nose/mouth with if people are worried about being irritated by the steam/smell. Keep in mind that this area was used for healing back in the day! The mineral-filled-steam is supposedly healthy and helps clean out your lungs!
