OMG this place is soooo amazing. I went here for my birthday, and it was the best day ever. The mud bath, and sulfer pools, and the walk around the place with the beautiful scenery, not forgetting the friendly people. It was all so amazing. Will definitely go again.

Far from being "hellish" Hell's Gate is an incredible thermal experience with amazing geothermal mud and sulphuric water. Your skin will be left feeling amazing - well worth a visit!

Had a great experience walking around the geo thermal park and looking at the geysers then finished off with a lovely mud bath which left my skin feeling super soft well worth a visit

If you're on a budget or just wanting an experience the more commercial resorts around the area can't offer. The private mud baths are popular but just some advice - take an old pair of togs because you'll never get rid of the sulphur smell, a small sacrifice for how rejuvenated you'll feel afterwards.

This place is so relaxing and I highly recommend a mud bath and a sulphur spa, great for your skin.
