Explore Whakarewarewa on a one-hour guided tour, an experience in Rotorua where you’ll discover Māori culture, living traditions and the power of geothermal activity. Guided by descendants of the first guides who welcomed visitors to the region, you’ll hear stories passed down through generations and learn how the Tūhourangi Ngāti Wāhiao people have lived alongside the land for centuries.
Walk past steaming vents, bubbling mud pools and the mighty Pōhutu Geyser, then explore historic landmarks, including an active marae, sacred burial grounds and a WWII memorial archway. See how geothermal heat is used for cooking, bathing and everyday life. This is no museum behind glass; it’s a living village where culture, community and nature are part of the everyday.
