Dive deep into Māori culture with Te Puia’s Te Rā Guided Experience and Haka Combo. The adventure begins with a 90-minute tour of Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley, where you’ll marvel at Pohutu Geyser’s eruptions and the bubbling mud pools scattered across the landscape. Your guide will also lead you through the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, where you’ll watch talented artisans crafting wood, bone, and greenstone masterpieces, as well as flax weaving demonstrations.
Your journey continues with a special 30-minute haka performance. Feel the intensity of the pōwhiri (welcome ceremony), where tribal warriors challenge guests in an ancient ritual, before watching the powerful and famous haka dance. Along with the haka, you’ll enjoy Māori chants, songs (waiata), and poi performances—an unforgettable display of cultural pride and unity.
Wrap up the tour with a visit to the Kiwi Conservation Center, where you can quietly observe these iconic, endangered birds. This experience combines geothermal wonder, cultural immersion, and exhilarating performances in one action-packed day.
