With one Te Puia sightseeing ticket, unlock a dual wonder in Rotorua, New Zealand — on one side, the natural marvel of geothermal eruptions; on the other, a rich and ancient Māori culture. Spanning 600 acres, the geothermal valley hides unexpected surprises, offering every visitor an immersive collision of nature and heritage, and creating unforgettable New Zealand memories.

Stepping into the Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley feels like entering a wonderland, with swirling steam wrapping the valley and bubbling mud pools churning with geothermal energy. The most awe‑inspiring sight is the Pōhutu Geyser, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. It erupts 1‑2 times every hour on average, shooting boiling water up to 30 metres into the air, showcasing nature’s immense power. By day, admire its majestic grandeur; by night, during the 'Mārama' Starlight Experience, the geyser shines brilliantly against the stars, offering a different perspective on geothermal magic.

With your ticket in hand, explore the essence of Māori culture. Step into the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute and watch students diligently mastering ancient skills such as weaving, wood carving, stone carving, and bone carving. At the Te Rito o Rotowhio Weaving School and Te Takapū o Rotowhio Stone & Bone Carving School, witness the creation of Māori treasures (Taonga). You can also purchase handcrafted keepsakes at the Āhua Gallery to treasure a unique cultural souvenir.

There are even more surprises waiting: encounter New Zealand’s national treasure up close in the nocturnal area of the Kiwi Conservation Centre; participate in a traditional pōwhiri ceremony at the Rotowhio Marae and feel the warm Māori welcome; enjoy haka and Māori songs at the Te Aronui a Rua meeting house, experiencing the vibrant energy of traditional performance. Our professional guides, carrying ancestral knowledge, share precious stories throughout, offering you a deep understanding of Māori heritage.

After your tour, head to the world‑famous Pātaka Kai restaurant to savour an authentic Māori traditional hāngī feast, paired with fresh seafood and local ingredients. Enjoy your meal while taking in panoramic views of the geothermal valley — a feast for both the palate and the eyes. With just one ticket, you get natural wonders, cultural experiences, and delicious cuisine all in one. Come to Te Puia and unlock the most enchanting side of New Zealand.
