Explore Homestead Crater

AdventureEasyYear-round

Descend into a geothermal spring hidden within a 55-foot limestone dome. Soak, swim, or snorkel in the mineral-rich waters.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Book your 40-minute soaking slot at least two weeks in advance, especially for weekend sessions which often sell out.
  • 2Bring your own towel and a waterproof bag for wet swimwear, as the facility charges extra for towel rentals.
  • 3Arrive at the Homestead Resort 15 minutes early to sign waivers and navigate the short walk to the limestone dome.
  • 4Opt for a snorkeling session if you want to explore the deeper parts of the crater floor using their provided gear.
  • 5Wear a secure swimsuit without dangling accessories, as the high mineral content can occasionally affect delicate metals.
  • 6Park in the main resort lot where spaces are free and plentiful for visitors.
