Leave the world behind and join us for a tranquil 2.5hr geothermal hot pool experiance to the remote Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools. Accessible only by water, this exclusive sanctuary is celebrated as one of New Zealand’s finest hot spring destinations.
Hop aboard our brand-new, all-weather shuttle for a scenic 20-minute cruise to the remote southern shores of Lake Rotoiti. Once there, immerse yourself in eight spring-fed geothermal pools, each perfectly heated to a different temperature.
To cool off, step onto the unique geothermal beach and wade into the fresh water, or plunge down the slide straight into the crystal-clear lake. If you're keen to explore, take the short native bush walk, where a quick climb rewards you with sweeping panoramic views. To wrap up your experiance, grab a refreshing drink or ice cream from the lakeside shop and soak up the last of the views as we cruise back across the lake.

Lovely Afternoon
From beginning to end the experience was absolutely lovely. Our host/driver was kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and funny. On the way to the springs we stopped off at a old Maori village on the lake. We were taught about the farming and fishing practices. As well as the role the geothermal waters played in crop growing and meal cooking. Upon arrival at the springs we were given a brief history of the pools and layout of the springs. The pools themselves were just amazing! Many different pools at different temperatures. A slide and jumping post on the lake for those brave enough to get into the cold water!! Overall an excellent afternoon with a great host would recommend this trip for couples looking to relax as well as families wanting a quiet day on the lake! There are bbqs on site as well.
