A 90-minute motorcoach ride through the North Island's gorgeous countryside brings you to Rotorua.
Te Puia, recently featured on Good Morning America, is home to the internationally renowned spouting Pohutu Geyser and boasts silica terraces, pools of boiling mud, and dramatic steam vents.
Your kaiarahi (guide) is keen to share the fascinating local lore and legends of this wonderful country. View the reserve's fascinating re-creation of an early Maori village. Te Puia's Maori Arts & Crafts Institute offers a journey into the rich heritage, ancient skills, and culture of the Maori people.
Young people from across New Zealand are selected as apprentices to learn skills ranging from carving to weaving, creating flax skirts and embroidering patterned bodices.
Enjoy a delicious lunch and watch a lively Maori cultural performance, which includes the world-famous haka war dance and intricate hand games used to train young warriors.
Notes:
Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes (mandatory). Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. The smell of sulfur permeates the air in Rotorua and is quite strong. Tour sequence may vary.
