We did the walking tour and then took a dip in the pools. The walking tour was okay but the pools were lovely, especially sans kids. Our only gripe was the lack of information at the reception. We weren’t told where the lockers were so ended up at the pools, nor did they bother to tells us where the walking tour started, so ended up at the pools for a second water time.

Beautiful thermal pools and terraces at reasonable prices. ($20) per person with no time limit. Walking tour among the geo-thermal terraces, geyser and moari village for an additional $15. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Really good value. The pools are a gorgeous crystal blue colour and you can move between the pools of different temperatures. Very relaxing. No children is quite a nice bonus! Definitely recommend a visit here!

A small geothermal park with an adjacent pool to bath in the warm mineral water . Currently part of park is closed to public so the Māori pa village is closed . Price has been reduced to half price to compensate The geyser in the park is worth the visit for anyone who is into the wonders of nature !! It's fascinating to watch ! Walk os about 20 mins in length and varies species of trees are marked and identified

Easy to find, easy to park, straightforward entry- you can hire towels, togs (trunks/costumes), lockers (although you can take your bag with you and hang up near whichever pool you are in), temperature goes up to about 40 degrees in one pool so beware of you have high blood pressure or are pregnant! Suggest taking crocs/flip flops/jangles/thongs and a bottle of water as there aren’t any taps around the pools. Cafe closed at 4pm which is a shame because it doesn’t close till 8pm and you come out thirsty and hungry!

Loved the 30 minute walk around the terraces/pools. A nice short walk and recommend before the swim so you can see where your lovely warm water is coming from. So clean and well landscaped! Then the swimming pools (4) were beautifully done - sculpted into the landscape, clean, great natural minerals to refresh and revitalise you. And because it is over 14yr olds only so peaceful! Totally recommend it to anyone in Taupo or travelling around. We were in Rotorua doing a round trip back to Auckland and it was worth the detour!

A very nice spot just outside of Taupo. Adults only, so it's pretty serene. There's lots of pools to choose from and plenty of space for everyone. Bring lots of water or fill up your bottle when you check in and pay. I couldn't find water refill stations down by the pools. You can rent a locker and towel to store your stuff and you get a refund when you give it back, or you can just carry it along with you around the pools. There's plenty of space for a tote bag full of water and towels if you don't mind carrying it up and down the hill. The locker rooms are a bit small and crowded, too. All in all, I loved this place and will definitely come again the next time I'm in Taupo.

It was a very cool experience, the pools are very cool. There are 3 pools (different temperatures). Im glad I got it for a discounted price (on bookme) as I wouldn’t want to pay the full amount for it. There’s a very short walk you can do which I definitely 100% recommend doing! It’s so so beautiful!

We enjoyed the thermal spa and spent about an hour and a half here going through the different pools. The one at the top is the hottest and has signage to show that it might go above 40 C and to be careful but the rest is all very pleasant. We went during the winter and spent the most time in the pool with the large waterfall. We were surprised to find out how pricey it was but most springs in the area you can bathe in appear to be privately owned so I guess we shouldn't have been too surprised. The springs are $27 NZD and the walkway is $15 NZD. We were keen to do both but they do not offer a combo so we declined to spend more as the sun was setting. The hot pools charge additional fees for the lockers, towels and swimwear. They allowed us to share a locker but we found many guests just carried their items to the springs area without issue. There are hooks and benches that are relatively dry to hang bags and towels. Bringing your own swimwear and towels would be recommended and you could leave your valuables in your vehicle without issue too. We would recommend wearing sandals or flip flops as the mats in the hot pools area were not comfortable to walk on. They are open into the evening and we felt this was a nice spot to watch the sun go down as the many free parks and attractions around us were closing their gates. They recommend that you do not shower for 4 to 8 hours after to feel the effects of the water and we followed that recommendation and felt our skin was smoother.

The staff were fantastic. Really good to see them helping people out and helping international tourists. Unique hot pool experience. Nice scenery. The age range is 14+ so good for adult relaxing.
