Add to my REAL NZ Festival trip planner Added to your REAL NZ Festival trip planner

Te Puia is New Zealand's premier Māori cultural centre and geothermal valley.

Wander around the spectacular geothermal field of Whakarewarewa and view the mighty Pōhutu Geyser, hot pools and mud pools.

Listen to your Māori guide retell the traditional stories and history of this unique place and view New Zealand's national icon the kiwi bird. Daily concerts showcase the best of Māori dance, and Māori carvers and weavers proudly demonstrate their traditional arts and crafts.

Join Te Pō, a popular evening cultural experience incorporating Māori dance, a sumptuous Māori feast (hāngī) and a night visit to the geyser terrace.

Share in our heritage, our culture, our people and our place.
