Best way to see it is to walk there on the marvellous track either from the car park or The anding, & get one of the water taxis to meet you at Hot water Beach. Then get them to take you to some more hot pools only accessible by boat. These pools have a more consistent temperature. Finish it with some rock jumping & a swim in the silky water of Lake tarawera before being dropped back at The Landing. For a tailored boat trip google “The Fat Pigeon” or for a water taxi “Lake Tarawera eco tours”
