Tokaanu Thermal Pools

Great local gem!! Nothing fancy but definitely worth a visit. It was quite busy when we came but there was still plenty of space to sit & relax in the warm waters. Our kids loved it. The ladies at the desk were lovely as well.

Stay on the thermal walk track if you're going to do a walk around the public areas, even the free thermal pools area for bathing and cooking can be dangerous, the supposed safe areas can spray boiling water at random which happened near me on the 14th of July causing a minor injury when I backed away (not burnt so its ok). It was totally unexpected, possibly there is major underlying volcanic activity authority's are not disclosing for this area. This will save you needing to do an ACC claim.Nice area but probably very unstable even though the geo site says it was caused by wind interference with activity recording instruments. Do pay for the hot pools use it will be worth your while and a lot safer.

Nice little place to have a short walk around. Is right behind the thermal pools

Spartan, clean, and pleasant. We had a private bath as well as using the public pool. There were only a handful of other parties and the atmosphere was relaxed. The water was wonderfully warm. The prices amazingly low. Staff helpful and friendly.

To hire a private thermal pool for 20minites for 3 adults & 1 child costs under $55, my mokopuna who is 1 was free.Very peaceful it was a beautiful way to unwind and reset before returning home.You can go on a thermal hikoi (walk), it is also a place for the trout to spawn so you can't do any fishing there, you can fish further on up the road though.

Lovely to see the pools again. Very clean and well maintained. Nothing flash and nothing fancy here.

Absolutely the best experience, the quite walk will have you gasping at every corner with thermal magic, then a perfect relax in the private pools followed with a swim in thermal pools, the whole experience 10/10.

An amazing place to visit just south of lake Taupo, an awesome loop walk and thermal pools. Feed the fish off the bridge, a must stop

We stopped by after a day of skiing. We opted for the private pool first which as $14pp for 20 minutes. You also had access to the public pools afterwards. I found the private pool to be on the hotter side. The outdoor pool was warm and more enjoyable for me. The outdoor pool was much busier though.There is plenty of parking in front of the pools. Just be aware that if you arrive too late there might not be any private pools available if they are busy.

3rd time here and am a returning customer for the private pools. Haven't been to the main pools as I think there chlorine?? Double check. The mineral private pools are where it's at though. Do change before you go as it's only a 20 min session and when your times up you also have to leave and get changed in the change rooms rather than your pool room. Overall a clean and affordable place to go for the most relaxing hot swim ever. I always leave here feeling brand after all my long hikes hence why I'm now addicted. Highly recommend
