Full day pass to thermal spa "Hells Gate" in New Zealand
Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand
Overview
Named “Hells Gate” by the author George Bernard Shaw who was amazed by its primeval landscape and raw geothermal power, this park contains New Zealand’s largest active mud volcano and the hottest waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere, where Maori warriors would come to heal their wounds after the battle. See the twin mud pools named Sodom and Gomorrah, fascinating examples of land coral, and beautiful sulfur crystals.
The medicinal and curative properties of the mud in Hells Gate have been known for centuries. After a walk around the reserve, you’ll enjoy a mud bath which detoxifies and regenerates the skin. Afterward sink into a sulfur spa, increasing blood circulation and soothing and softening the skin even further. You’ll feel like a new person emerging from this incredible spa experience.
When giving as a gift, your recipient can choose a date at their convenience during a booking process. Otherwise, you can choose one after checkout and voucher redemption.
