Yup, it completely safe and a lot of signage along the way!

From memory you are unable to hire a stroller. Not all the walks are suitable for a stroller but there would still be enough to see - the smell can vary - when we were there it wasn't really too noticeable surprisingly enough

Morena Holly, Unfortunately, we only have two locations with toilet blocks, both being around the visitor centre. We do hope you still decide to visit Wai-O-Tapu to do at least track 1 which takes about 45 minutes (1.5km, round track) Safe travels Holly!

Yes it is.

Kia Ora, the first walk is 1.5 km and usually takes people 30 - 45 minutes. We've never really experienced anyone have allergic reactions to the sulfate before so i'd recommend getting some medical advise from coming

No!!!! It is absolutely boiling hot and some of the pools are too deep and unsafe to go. The rule in the park is NOBODY IN THE WATER!!!!

Lady Knox geyser erupts at 10:15 am Everyday 365 days a year. Daylight saving Doesn't affect her, like everything else.

Yes you can. But ensure he doesnt stray away from you

It's okay. I went there already and they have a place for travelers to put their bags. If anyone wants to go there just ask the crew and you will be fine.

The great thing is that you don't need to decide at the start, there are 3 loops so you do the first loop to the Champagne Pool and see how you feel, then do the second loop to the Bridal Veil and do another check. The first two loops are flat but the third has lots of steps (iPhone said 13 stories equivalent) so this is where our party split up with one group returning to the cafe (1.5 hours total walking) and the remainder continuing on the third loop (approx 45 mins extra). It's a very well designed route. Time depends on how fast you walk and how often you stop to take photos (often in our case - including watching the bird life and chicks in the sulphur pools on the third loop).
