Set in a breathtaking natural landscape, surrounded by forests and mountains, the award-winning Thermal Pools offers visitors a wide range of experiences, from soothing indulgence to exciting family fun. The Thermal Pools & Spa has nine open-air thermal pools, three sulphur pools and four private thermal pools, as well as a sauna/steam room.
Hanmer Springs is the ideal place to explore by bicycle. Quiet roads with stunning Alpine backdrops provide easy access to the mountain bike tracks, forest and hills around Hanmer Springs Village. The forest rides are particularly suited to families - you can ride from 20 mins to 2 hours around the weaving mountain bike tracks, and it's mostly flat.
Gateway to the natural beauty of Hanmer Springs is the historical Waiau Ferry Bridge, home of Thrillseekers Canyon Adventure Centre. Our shop, cafe and activity base overlook the river, canyon and bridge and from here you can choose your adventure - from mild to wild! Most of our activities welcome children and family groups although minimum ages may apply.
Choose from bungy jumping (you can even jump as a parent/child combo!), whiltewater rafting, jetboating, off-road karts, quad biking and paintball.
