Overview

The Hell's Gate Mud Bath and Sulphur Spas in Rotorua offers a one-hour spa experience. Visitors begin by applying natural mud from Hell's Gate onto their skin. This mud has been used by the local Maori for over 800 years to cleanse the skin. After covering the body with the mud, guests rinse it off. Next, they enter the sulphur spa pools to exfoliate and further cleanse the skin. While in the spa pools, visitors can see the geothermal reserve nearby, which includes steaming vents and hot springs. The experience includes access to both the mud bath and sulphur spa facilities. Swimwear and towels are not included but can be rented onsite. Food and drinks are not provided. Operating days and hours may vary, so checking the Hell’s Gate website for current information and last entrance times is recommended. The mud bath is suitable for children aged 2.5 years and older, and the sulphur spa is open to children from 6 months old. Pregnant women and people with heart problems or serious medical conditions should consult a health professional before using the facilities.
