Begin your journey in Rotorua with a deeply restorative experience at Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa, an extraordinary wellness destination inspired by the ancient healing traditions of the Ngāti Whakaue people. This 2-hour, multi-sensory journey blends geothermal heat, mineral-rich waters, natural mud, and therapeutic steam in a carefully curated sequence designed to relax, restore, and rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Surrounded by the energy of Rotorua’s geothermal landscape, you’ll experience true renewal through the elements that have sustained Māori wellness for generations.
After your spa experience, continue your day with a tranquil walk among the towering trees of the Redwoods Treewalk. Stroll along a series of suspended walkways high above the forest floor, taking in the fresh forest air, birdsong, and filtered sunlight through the canopy. This serene nature escape complements your wellness journey perfectly — a day of balance, tranquility, and natural beauty in the heart of Rotorua.
