My family and I had a wonderful afternoon at Hell's gate. We just loved the mud bath experience and our skins were so soft afterwards. Also got some fun photos during the 30 min you are allowed to stay in the mud bath! Then we soaked in the hot springs for awhile. It wasn't super crowded and the facility managed the guests well. We explored the various thermal pools and the colors were just stunning. Highly recommend!

The Hell's Gate experience was very enjoyable. The mud bath and sulphur spas were incredibly enjoyable and relaxing. The walk around the entire path showing the mud pots and sulphur pools was very interesting.

There is plenty of information around the site and you can move at your pace. The wood carving at the end is a nice touch as well.
