Tokaanu Thermal Walk

The Tokaanu Thermal Walk is a wonderful track to see some of Aotearoa’s most exciting geology in twenty minutes flat. It is an easy walk, accessed at the entrance to the world-famous-in-NZ Tokaanu Thermal Pools off SH 41.

Unfortunately, the pools were closed for refurbishment on this trip, but it is worth it to stop just for the walk, which winds around steamy thermal pools and bubbling mud and provides some information about how these pools were traditionally used by local Māori for cooking and healing.
