“A great reserve to wonder around. It has a loop track that is around 1.7ish kms around. The track is popular with dog walkers - most are responsible but watch out for dogs off leash who can't be controlled by some terrible owners. And don't believe what people say about the avocado trees - they don't exist so don't bother about driving out here to grab some - it'd be a wasted trip.”

“Great place to come for a swim or for a good short hike. Walk is about 10min downhill and 15min back up the hill. Quite a steep climb with certain slippery areas and points that require nimble movement. Avoid on rainy days and days following heavy rainfall as either the path will be extremely slippery or the current streaming down the crossing will prove difficult to cross if wanting to swim.”

“The drift trikes are great fun and the staff were very accommodating about turning the music down a bit for our son. Our group was not the speediest on the track but it's fun to drift and you can get a good slide going at a very safe speed. It was just the 4 of us on the track which was nice. Our youngest rider was a teenager, oldest was Grandma who is in her 70s. I have seen other groups be a bit more adventurous - sometimes in a good way, once in a slightly worrying way when we were on the track with them and they tried to go full speed all the time. They say in the instruction video that drifting is about style, not speed and I agree. Spinning out once or twice is fine, crashing more than once into the barriers is careless!”

“Absolutely stunning, loved the whole Hells Gate area”
Address: State Highway 30, Tikitere, Rotorua 3074, New Zealand
“Absolutely amazing!! I loved the guided walk and learned so much about Māori culture!! However, the only thing that made this trip worth it was our tour guide, Ngati (NA • tsi). He was so kind and knowledgeable. He even knew the Māori cultural meaning of every object. He also walked us through the Māori prayers for safety before and after the walk. If the New Zealand weather catches you by surprise, don’t worry, because Ngati will hand you anything he has to help.Strongly recommend requesting him for your Hell’s Gate guided walk.”

“This is a beautiful walk for the family. Really easy and the waterfalls is stunning after rain. You can get right up to it and there are no deep pools in front so great for kids. The entrance is not the one with the large sign and parks in front but is across the oval on the left (facing the oval). There is a timber sign.”
