Perfect, you can soak in the pavilion outside, the pool has different temperatures, authentic sulfur hot springs. There is no time limit, it is very smooth to enter, and many locals soak in it

In Rotorua, New Zealand, I found a geothermal park with fewer tourists. There was a tour map (Chinese version) when I entered the park. I booked the tickets through Ctrip and the procedure was simple. I originally wanted to go there to make black mud, but time was too tight, so I decided to see if I would have the chance next time.
Visiting Hell's Gate in Rotorua is like stepping into a geothermal wonderland. Located in the heart of New Zealand's famous thermal region, this geothermal park offers an up-close look at the country's stunning volcanic activity. The park features bubbling mud pools, erupting geysers, and steam vents that create a unique, almost otherworldly experience.

This is such a hidden gem! The pools are immaculate, beautifully designed and well maintained. The nature surrounding the pools makes it so relaxing and the views are stunning !
Waiketi Valley Hot Springs is particularly worth visiting. There are steps that allow us to see water with a temperature of 98 to 100 degrees flowing down from the mountain and finally flowing into the hot spring where we are soaking. The water is rich in various minerals, and the skin becomes super smooth and comfortable after soaking. The children also love to play in different pools, swimming in the big pool, meditating in the stone pool, and soaking in the soak pool. Their faces are red and they are super cute.
