Begin your journey with a guided tour of Te Puia, where you will explore this iconic Rotorua geothermal park with a knowledgeable guide and learn about the fascinating history of the region.

Your Te Puia guide will share stories and legends passed down through generations, giving you a deeper understanding of the significance of these natural wonders. Included in your Te Puia guided tour is entry to the Kiwi Conservation Centre, where you can meet New Zealand's national bird, as well as a visit to the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute.
After the Te Puia guided tour, it's time to indulge in a mouthwatering hangi dinner. This Māori inspired feast includes locally sourced cuisine, such as tender meats, succulent vegetables, and delicious desserts. After dinner, prepare to be captivated by a traditional Te Puia cultural performance at the beautifully carved meeting house. Watch as talented performers showcase traditional Māori song, dance, and storytelling. Be mesmerised by the powerful haka, a traditional war dance, and be moved by the hauntingly beautiful melodies of the waiata (songs).
The Te Puia indigenous evening experience concludes with a small group shuttle tour into the geothermal valley at night. Enjoy a hot chocolate while gazing out over the geothermal landscapes and marvelling at the impressive Pohutu Geyser.
