Description
Combine a guided tour of the Te Puia geothermal valley with an exhilarating Haka performance in Rotorua. This must-do package is a fascinating introduction into Rotorua’s geothermal wonderland and its cultural significance.
The Te Ra & Haka combo includes a guided tour through the Te Puia geothermal valley, entry to the Kiwi Conservation Centre, an insight into Maori arts & crafts, as well as a cultural performance at the Te Aronui a Rua meeting house. Located in the cultural hub of Rotorua, this is a New Zealand experience that you will never forget.
Throughout this guided experience & cultural performance, look out for popular highlights in the Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley. You will see the mighty Pohutu Geyser, the largest geyser in the southern hemisphere, which erupts approximately 20 times a day. Te Puia is also home to stunning cobalt blue lakes, bubbling mud pools and steaming hot springs. At the end of the tour, you will have the chance to experience not just the haka, but several cultural performances: the pohiri (traditional welcome), waiata (song), moteatea (traditional chant), poi dancing and the haka.
