This land has the power to heal and excite anyone who meets it, just as it’s done for centuries. Come and discover New Zealand’s most unique geothermal experience at Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland and Hell’s Gate mud spa. Your body and soul will feel revitalized after this soothing experience.

Thousands of years in the making and regarded as "One of the 20 Most Surreal Places in the World".

A walk through this surreal, lunar-like environment provides the chance to witness some of the volcanic wonders and a wide range of amazing photo opportunities with unique features including the world-famous Champagne Pool, a naturally colored hot and cold springs, Devil’s Bath, bubbling mud pools, steaming ground, expansive vistas, huge volcanic craters and sinter terrace formations.

Get down and dirty in a mud bath or unwind in a sulfur spa overlooking a spectacular geothermal landscape, before cooling off in a beautiful spring-fed waterfall and plunge pool.
