Unwind in Rotorua’s famous geothermal spa while exploring the natural wonders of Hell’s Gate on this half-day tour. Enjoy a mud bath and a sulphur spa, and choose to have lunch at the Hell’s Gate Café before returning to Rotorua.
At 9:50 am meet your driver at the iSite Rotorua Visitor Information Centre for a comfortable 20-minute drive to Hell’s Gate in the shuttle bus. Upon arrival, begin your exploration of Hell’s Gate, renowned for its boiling hot pools, bubbling mud, and steaming fumaroles.
At 10:30 am join the guided geothermal walk, where you'll witness the largest hot waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere and learn about the Māori legends and historical uses of this geothermal area.
Spend around 45 minutes exploring the dramatic geothermal landscape. Hell’s Gate is one of the most active geothermal parks in New Zealand, featuring mud volcanoes, sulphur lakes, and steaming craters.
After the walk, indulge in the famous mud bath (20-minute time limit for health and safety reasons) where the therapeutic mud is known for its ability to soften skin and detoxify the body. Following the mud bath, rinse off and unwind in the sulphur spa pools.
These naturally heated waters help relieve muscle tension and improve circulation, making it a rejuvenating experience. After your relaxing spa experience, enjoy an optional lunch (at your own cost) at the Hell's Gate Café.
