Te Puia

Te Puia, situated in the Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley on the edge of Rotorua, is a site rich in both natural and cultural heritage. Home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, it offers a glimpse into traditional Māori craftsmanship. The valley’s geothermal activity is a highlight, with the Pohutu Geyser regularly erupting, and bubbling mud pools that visitors can explore with a local Māori guide. Today, guests can choose from a range of activities, immersing themselves in the unique landscape and rich cultural experiences that Te Puia has to offer.
