Your Experience

Once used by Maori warriors to heal their battle-scarred bodies, the thermal mud and acidic, sulphurous waters at Hell's Gate are a must-try. Apply the natural geothermal mud to your skin, and feel it working wonders. Then, take a cool shower before setting foot in the waters of the hot sulphur mineral spa and enjoy a hot soak for about 20 minutes. The warm geothermal mud opens and cleans the skin’s pores, and the sulphur spa gives you a gentle exfoliation and deep cleansing.
