“See steaming hot mineral pools and spluttering mud pools on this short, easy walk - it's a good option for children but be sure to supervise them.”
This short walk provides an interesting glimpse of a natural thermal area. See steaming hot mineral pools set in sinter basins and spluttering mud pools amidst the native bush.
For hundreds of years, Maori have used the geothermal resources of this area for cooking, bathing and leisure. Share in this tradition by having a therapeutic and relaxing swim at the nearby Tokaanu Thermal Pools.
Rainbow trout can often be seen here in the cold Tokaanu stream that flows beside the thermal area.
Getting there
