Leave the world behind and join a tranquil 2.5-hour geothermal hot pool experience at 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 a 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 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 the lake.
