Te Pō Indigenous Experience

Book Te Pō - approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes


An evening of culture, kai and connection!


For generations Te Puia has welcomed manuhiri (visitors) from all over the world to explore the magic hidden within our historical geothermal valley…

The Te Pō  Indigenous Experience begins with our mouth-watering buffet at our world-famous Pātaka Kai Restaurant, Bar, and Cafe. With locally sourced cuisine and an authentic Māori twist in each dish, our buffet is guaranteed to be a favourite.

Following this, you will be led to view an exhilarating cultural performance that takes place in our beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. It will include a Pōhiri (Traditional Māori Welcome), Waiata (Song), Mōteatea (traditional chant), Poi, and Haka.

Afterward, enter the geothermal valley on our waka (electric shuttle) and discover one of New Zealand’s most magnificent geothermal wonderlands – featuring dramatic geysers, bubbling mud, and beautiful native bush. Enjoy a hot chocolate, seated on a naturally heated rock terrace overlooking the powerful Pōhutu Geyser.

This experience is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes long and suitable for all ages.

Must be booked in advance. Subject to availability and confirmation.
