Things To Know
General Information:
Directions: The easiest access is via the Rotota Sun Club, which, for some, also makes it the hardest access as NZNF membership is required to go through their land. You can also gain access to the waterfall by boat on the Waikato River, near Orakei Korako. Requires 10 minutes tramping thereafter.
A guided Jet Boat and Kayak Tours are the primary way that most people experience the springs.
Access to the spot is via Te Kopia Road. Take a 10-minute walk upstream through the chasm known as "The Squeeze", and once you’ve made it through the chasm, the stream culminates in a small canyon with three hot waterfalls. The pool is just a short walk up some stairs from this point.
