Awesome

Was so awesome, made my skin feel so soft. Still over 24 hrs later and 3 showers my skin still feels soft. I trod on a bumblebee just before I got in the mud and it stung the bottom of my foot, as soon as I rubbed it in the mud the sting left. Staff were really friendly, nice atmosphere. Just wonderful all round ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Great but smelly

My partner had a great time in the mid and Sulfur, be sure to know you will smell for a day or too afterwards and getting the smell out yours clothes is hard but would happily do it again

Hells Gate - Mud Bath and Spa

Was pleasantly surprised by the Geothermal walk which was very interesting and a nice prelude to my main reason for attending. The mud bath was very relaxing, although times are monitored closely and after 20 minutes you are asked to move to one of the several heated water pools. Don't wear any expensive swimwear as it will smell of sulphur afterwards and must be washed ASAP. All of this information is given in the baths. Overall very relaxing and the free shuttle bus from Rotorua was great.
