  • Great way to destress

    Very enjoyable way to destress. It felt great to smooth on the mud and soak then wash off and continue to soak longer in the hot spring. Wish I could do it every day!

  • Very nice and relaxing...

    It was the first thing we did after checking into our Rotorua hotel. We arrived a couple minutes passed our allotted window, but they were very understanding and nice about it. Staff was clear in their instructions/recommendations. Wish we had more time in the actual mud bath, as the prep/cleaning in between took more time than I thought. Hot water in the showers and huge towels definitely helped afterwards though. Nonetheless, the mud felt very soothing and relaxing to the skin. Probably not something one needs to do repeatedly, but it certainly for a unique, (probably) once-in-a-lifetime outing. Would recommend as a bucket-list check off :)

    Some false advertising about 1 hour mudbath. It is a very short time 20mins in mud baths. Barely enough time to cover with mud, then they tell you to get out!

    Viator tricked me! They sold a ticket that I had to pay $200 to a taxi to take me to the picking point. I could not go and have asked for refund, but no response.
