From the beginning to the end we loved the mud baths ans the spa. Made us feel so much better once we got out. Maybe next time we won't do this in the middle of winter though it was freezing in between baths and showers

Birthday surprise for my Wife. First time in mud... Fun as!
Spa was nice & relaxing with a Beautiful back drop of gysers as sun was setting...Stunning!
The plunge pool with little water fall was nice & cold!
An awesome experience. Will definately return.
However, the smell of sulphur is still lingering after 2 days. LOL!!
Fabulous time.
The team were awesome. I do hope the Brother that left his chips in the oven all day decided o get a pie!!... Or donated his chips to make a fence some where!! 😂

If you ever get the chance do the tour guide to have a much better understanding on what where when and how it all formed. We had a lovely guide Luke very knowledgeable, the whole team were very hospitable. After the walk we got to Doo SA some carving and then had an amazing mud spa, cold water plunge and then a nice mineral soak.

I don't want to write a negative review but...

This is not a great place. We did the spa (no walk or carving) and as soon as I walked in I was disappointed. It's 4 small pools (or large baths) that have got warm dirty water in them. There's a box of mud in each pool (which was empty) and you share this mud with the strangers in your pool. Because the water is cold you end up trying to stay under it - meaning all the mud you salvage from the bottom of the pool/bath comes right off. I got out and went to the shower and hot pool (this was actually warm) but my partner didn't, I would assume for 85$ you'd get some time at the hot pool after the "spa" mud bath. Nope. 20 minutes max and you're out.

This is a bad tourist trap. I feel bad for the people working there, they were nice.
