Description

Leave the world behind and join a tranquil 2.5-hour Rotorua geothermal hot pool experience at the remote Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools (Manupirua hot springs). Accessible only by water, this exclusive sanctuary is celebrated as one of New Zealand’s finest natural hot spring destinations. Hop aboard a brand-new, all-weather vessel for a scenic 20-minute Lake Rotoiti boat cruise to the remote southern shores. 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 of Rotorua’s lake landscape. To wrap up your experience, grab a refreshing drink or ice cream from the lakeside shop and soak up the last of the views as you cruise back across Lake Rotoiti.
