Rotorua: Hell’s Gate Outdoor Mud Spa & Guided Walk

1.Hell’s Gate Outdoor Mud Spa & Guided Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,140 reviews · 3 hours · from $68Our pick

Hell’s Gate combo in Rotorua: geothermal walk plus mud bath, sulfur spa, Māori carving, and a cool plunge pool. 3 hours, map included.

“Had a great time here! You can do the geothermal walk first. We skipped the guided tour and explored ourselves by the time we got back the guided tour had been on for 20mins but only at the fist sign post so make sure you have plenty of time if you want to do that! Mud baths were amazing and felt quite private plus the mud helped get rid of most blackheads on my nose! 20 mins doesn’t seem like much but once you are in it’s the perfect amount of time!”
