Hells Gate Geothermal Park
Hell’s Gate Geothermal Reserve is 50 acres in area. The walk takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing sulphur spa or mud bath overlooking the active geothermal reserve.
Each mud bath contains between 70 - 100 kgs of geothermal mud, both in suspended and solid form, which can be liberally smoothed over the skin whilst in the mud bath.
The silky smooth geothermal mud, in combination with the sulphurous geothermal water, opens the skin's pores allowing the active ingredients to gently exfoliate and treat the skin while in the bath leaving it very clean and soft to touch.
The traditional mud bath experience of 20 minutes is followed by the relaxing sulphur spa, either overlooking the geothermal reserve, or in the private North Island Sulphur Spa, complete with geothermal hot waterfall.
