Mataranka Thermal Pool and Rainbow Springs

Mataranka Thermal Pool and Rainbow Springs, nestled within Elsey National Park, offer a rejuvenating experience in the Northern Territory. The crystal-clear waters, consistently warm at 34°C, are surrounded by a lush canopy of paperbark and palm trees, creating a serene oasis. The area serves as a natural habitat for a large colony of little red flying foxes, adding to the unique wildlife experience. Accessible via a 500-meter loop walk from the park entrance, the site provides facilities such as a car park and designated swimming areas. Visitors are encouraged to purchase a NT Parks Pass prior to arrival.
