Know for its geysers, there is a Maori culture centre as well with three handicraft schools and a traditional show.
It’s very interesting to learn about handcrafts and Māori culture. The geysers and mud pools are impressive. I had a great time to walk as well in the park. But to be fair, the price is a bit high if there isn’t any percentage going to support the schools.
The guided tour was nice big mud pool and huge geysers that just go one and on for several minutes. The people from the carving school was so nice and friendly.
The Maori Cultural Presentation was incredible, such a unique experience for your bucket list. Same to the buffet menu at the restaurant, great price for an all inclusive and so much variety of meats, salads, soup and desserts. It was mostly Maori food and some Asian too, I couldn't even try everything.
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.

A must if you are in Rotorua
A must if you are in Rotorua. The Maori cultural experience was amazing and the geysers were awe inspiring. We all see a kiwi and mud pools. Four things ticked off our todo list in one location. We could have spent more time there, we allocated half a day but you could easily spend a whole day at Te Puia and Thermal Reserve Rotorua.
