Māori Culture, Geothermal Wonders and Kiwi Conservation

Home to the world-famous Rotorua geysers, including the spectacular Pōhutu Geyser, Te Puia offers dramatic geothermal landscapes, bubbling mud pools, and beautiful native bush explored by our personalised guided tours. Te Puia is home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute and offers a state-of-the-art Kiwi Conservation Centre, so you can get closer than ever before to New Zealand’s national treasure – the native Kiwi bird.

In the heart of Rotorua, Te Puia invites you to explore Māori culture through generational guides, hāngī buffet lunches and dinners, cultural performances, and immersive day and night experiences that bring the valley’s stories to life.

For generations, Te Puia has welcomed manuhiri (visitors) from all over the world to explore the magic hidden within Te Whakarewarewa geothermal valley. Nau mai, haere mai. We look forward to welcoming you.
