Nau mai, haere mai… Welcome to Te Puia. Please check-in 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour.
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-powered 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.
