First stop is the Kakahi Falls, the largest geothermal waterfall in the Southern Hemisphere. The temperature of the waterfalls is 40°C. Maori Warriors once came to falls to cleanse their wounds after battles.
The next stop is the Sulphur Bath. This mud pool is not used for bathing because it contains strong acid that harms the skin.
This is the Mud Volcano. It is two metres tall and it erupts every six weeks, usually at night.
Now here we are at the Geothermal Inferno which consists of five pools with temperatures from 70° to 1I0°C. The pools are up to 15-metres deep. Please don’t throw stones in the pools as they block vents and can cause dangerous eruptions.
This is Medicine Lake. Its green water has been used to treat aches, pains and skin diseases for years. Swimming in the lake is not allowed. The mud from the lake is found in many beauty products sold in shops here at the reserve. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed the tour. Be sure to visit one of the health spas before leaving and enjoy a traditional thermal mud bath.
The Dead Sea
Throughout history the Dead Sea has been visited by people in search of relaxation and to heal various diseases. It borders the countries of Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. Surrounded by a dramatic landscape of mountains and white salt-lined shores, the sea is the lowest point on the face of the Earth at 400 metres below sea level. Due to the very high concentration of salt in the sea, very few sea animals or plants can survive in its water and this is why it has the name the Dead Sea. Visitors come to relax in the water which is rich in minerals. They can float in the water because of the high salt concentration. The sea is a natural spa that is believed to help cure skin diseases and arthritis.
