Great visit to Hells Gate - A really enjoyable visit to Hells gate. We booked the guided tour and mud spa. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The walking tour with guide Tod was excellent and gave plenty of time to see all the geothermal areas. Tod was very knowledgeable and good fun. After the tour we really enjoyed the spas which were very relaxing. After using the spas we enjoyed a tasty lunch in the cafe where mthe staff were again very friendly.
