Bitter Springs Thermal Pool, tucked away in Elsey National Park near Mataranka, is like nature's own hot tub. The crystal-clear water stays at a cosy 34°C all year round, making it perfect for a relaxing float while soaking up the lush surroundings!

I always pack my snorkel and it is SO amazing to explore the cyrstal clear waters.

The springs are surrounded by tropical greenery, and the gentle current lets you drift downstream—so don’t forget a pool noodle or floaty for the ultimate chill session. It's less crowded than nearby Mataranka Hot Springs, giving it a more peaceful vibe.
