Where the Earth breads
Marcel_D, Mar 2024
Not only have we seen the geothermal experience through the walk, but the weather showed us (almost) four seasons in a day. The reserve is well maintained and staff very kindly.
Excellent tour
Janet_T, Nov 2023
Our guide was so knowledgeable and added just the right amount of humour! The tour was a good time length.
Wonderful Experience into another world.
Frederick_F, Feb 2023
The whole experience was an adventure into another world. Absolutely amazing. On top of this our guide was incredible. He had knowledge, humour and above all he was a ‘born teacher”. The ones in life you want to listen to.
Rejuvenating

Great picturesque walk through the bushes to the craters followed by a relaxing mud bath. Perfect experience with family if you want some quality time.
Great walk even in winter
Hajnalka_M, May 2022
Fantastic place, great walk and learning, even in winter and even if choose not taking the bath, impressive and well maintained natural treasure. Such a shame that the reception staff was so unhappy on the day of our visit.
A walk to remember
SHAMSIAH_M, Aug 2019
It's our first time walking amongst bubbling water/mud in a geothermal active region. The smell of sulphur is in the air but sadly we did not see any sprouting geysers during the walk. It would have made it complete. But thank you for the experience and the good service 😊
