Walk through this amazing geothermal landscape in Rotorua’s most active region surrounded by boiling mud and steaming sulphur pools, see a mud volcano and the largest hot waterfall in the southern hemisphere. At Hells Gate you can get hands on with the earth and the Maori culture as you stroll through this untamed wonderland. Touch the geothermal muds and do your own Maori carving as a souvenir of your visit. Guided tours operate twice a day at 9.30am and 1.30pm or walk through the park at your leisure and only a 20 minute drive from central Rotorua.
As New Zealand’s historical site for geothermal bathing, Hells Gate is famous for its unique mud baths, sulphur pools and “health giving” waters. Since the 1840’s visitors have travelled to Rotorua to experience these beneficial waters and today, Hells Gate Geothermal Park & Mud Spa invites you to experience this for yourself. Covering your body in the unique geothermal mud from Hells Gate actively removes any excess oils from within the pores and leaves you feeling very soft and smooth. Cool off under the mineral enriched waterfall before relaxing in the freeform sulphur pool overlooking this unique geothermal landscape.
