Te Puia Guided Tour & Cultural Performance (Te Ra + Haka)

Rotorua’s world-class guided experience and cultural performance.

This exhilarating combo extends on from our Te Rā experience by adding a captivating cultural performance in our beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. It will include a pohiri (traditional Maori welcome), waiata (song), moteatea (traditional chant), poi and haka.

The Te Rā guided experience features a 90-minute walk through our geothermal valley, where you’ll visit the Pohutu Geyser, the Kiwi Conservation Centre, and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute.

Along the way, our knowledgeable kaiarahi (guides) will share their Maori traditions, heritage, and ancestral stories, offering unique insights into our rich culture.
