Te Puia
Discover one of New Zealand’s most magnificent geothermal wonderlands and Māori cultural centres.
For generations, Te Puia has welcomed manuhiri (visitors) from all over the world to explore the magic hidden within Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley.
Marvel at the dramatic geysers, bubbling mud, and beautiful native bush which you’ll explore on your personalised Te Ra Guided Experience by day or journey deeper on the Tuku Iho Trail, where you’ll taste sweetcorn cooked in natural geothermal hot pools. By night experience our popular Te Po Indigenous Experience, and Mārama Geyser Light Trail.
Watch carvers and weavers keep traditional skills alive at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.
Combine Te Ra + Haka to witness a traditional Māori cultural performance you’ll never forget.
Get up close to New Zealand’s national treasure, the native kiwi, in the state-of-the-art Kiwi Conservation Centre and see if you can spot our adorable kiwi chick, Manawa, exploring his new home.
Dine on delectable dishes at Pātaka Kai Restaurant while overlooking the geothermal valley.
Te Puia is a proud member of the Rotorua Sustainable Charter.
