Tokaanu Thermal Walk

Trail Turangi, Waikato, New Zealand

What to expect

The Tokaanu Thermal Walk is a short and easy loop walk around a natural thermal area, featuring steaming hot mineral pools and mud pots amidst native bush. The walk is great for kids and families, and provides an opportunity to learn about the traditional use of the thermal area by local Māori for cooking, healing, and relaxation. The area is also home to rainbow trout, which can often be seen in the cold Tokaanu stream that flows beside the thermal area. With its unique geothermal features and attractive surroundings, the Tokaanu Thermal Walk is a great place to visit with family and friends

This family's experience:

Activities: We walked along the Tokaanu Thermal Walk, a free trail through fumeroles and bubbling pools. It was a first approach very appreciated by the children despite the strong smell of rotten eggs!

Highlights: The kids enjoyed seeing the fumeroles and bubbling pools. It was a good introduction to the volcanic landscapes ✨
