Overview
As you walk through native bush and clouds of geothermic steam, you’ll discover why this land has inspired myths and legends. Once used by Māori warriors to heal their battle-scarred bodies, visitors now use the nutrient-rich waters and mud to ease inflammation and arthritis, as well as rejuvenate the skin. This unique blend of awe-inspiring power and natural healing properties is part of cultural legend, having been used for over 800 years.
Come along and discover why Hell’s Gate is New Zealand’s most unique and active geothermal reserve and mud spa.
