steam at tokaanu thermal pools
The steaming hot water was blue and clear enough to see to the bottom of the outdoor pool. The steam from these underground hot springs is harnessed in the bath house at the other end of the property. And, it's sooo relaxing!

tokaanu thermal pools
Tokaanu is in an active volcanic area where very hot water bubbles out of the ground due to volcanic activity.
In many places, cool water is added to the mineral water from the ground and then offered to the public as spa baths. Click here for locations and some history.
The steam from this underground activity is also harnessed for commercial use. Click here for more information.
