Hells Gate is derived from 1900. A famous Irish playwright named it as Hells Gate, which means gateway to hell. Hells Gate is famous for unique geothermal features. More than 700 years, Maori people have been living there and they regard it as a place of healing and revitalization. Why is it known as ‘awesome beast’ of New Zealand attraction? Because it is the largest mud volcano in New Zealand and largest hot water fall in Southern Hemisphere. You definitely visit this place if you arrived in New Zealand

You can see lots of magic sceneries from there. The most famous and amazing experience in Hells Gate theme park is to see and touch geothermal mud. There are three types of mud: black geothermal mud, cold white geothermal mud and silky grey geothermal. Each of these has different functions and effects. If you have rheumatism or arthritis, try black geothermal mud. Cold white geothermal can relieve burns. If you are a beauty lady, you must try silky grey geothermal. It can help exfoliate your skin and make your skin more smooth and elastic.
If you go to Hells Gate Park, you will be lucky enough to see the largest hot waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere. This hot waterfall is a natural shower with an annual water temperature of 40 degrees. However, sulfur in the water can help you heal wounds, if you accidentally hurt in the journey. Walking through the bushes and appreciating a great variety of plants of New Zealand and listening birds chirping is the best way to wind down and then you can enjoy the different types of baths including sulfur spa, mud spa and twilight spa. If you feel tied, you can enjoy a good Miri Miri message here. This is the Maori traditional massage method, in this way you can get a deep relaxation, improving circulation, relaxing your muscles and energy balance. Carving is one of Maori traditional culture and art, you have the opportunities to learn how to carve and make your own unique works of art from Maori people here. |
