    Ok information.

    Contrary to the information of the Lonely Planet, the Volcanic Activity Center doesn’t exist anymore.

    There are several entries for the I Site onthe web.

    One says the Site is not open Mondays. One says it opens 8:30am on Mondays and another says it opens at 10am!

    Really awful, rude service from Turangi i-SITE.

    We obviously asked some 'dumb' questions. As a mother with three young children at an information centre, I did not know this was possible. So much eye rolling, sighing, and just blatant rudeness , I have never experienced anywhere before. For what reason I have no idea. RETIRE grumpy lady.

    Very helpful and nice.

    She talked a lot of all possibilities, including what we did not think of (ie we wanted to do a kayak tour, but very expensive, so she mentioned boat tours). But only two very helpful women, we had to wait for 30 minutes - they need more staff!!
