Te Puia is home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute and home of the world-famous Pohutu geyser. Visitors also have an opportunity to see live kiwi, boiling mud pools and native bush. Our tradition of guiding in the Whakarewarewa geothermal valley extends for generations and many of our guides have direct links to Rotorua’s earliest hosts. We share stories and insight into this unique corner of the world. Our indigenous evening experience, Te Pō, is a feast of cultural storytelling, entertainment and Maori cuisine. The experience begins with the traditional powhiri (welcoming ceremony). You will also view your meal of meats and vegetables being ‘lifted’ from the hangi (earth oven). The evening culminates with a hot chocolate alongside Pohutu geyser under the stars.
