• 5Andy, Janet,Joe and Jayne Maori Experience

  A fantastic experience visiting an occupied Maori village. Our guide Daniel was amazing and we all felt very privileged to be guided by him around his actual family village. He even finished with a traditional My aori song. Thanks again Daniel

• 5Maori culture first hand

  Great to learn about Maori culture first hand from someone who still lives within the village. Our guide was knowledgeable and happy to share her lived experience with our group. Highly recommend this tour...I wish we had more time to do the longer tour.

• 5Informative tour about an actual living Maori village!

  Shout out to Daniel for giving me and my friends an awesome tour of this village! It was great to get a tour from Daniel who’s a true Maori descendant and get a unique perspective of their culture. The information he presented was very easy to understand and I learned quite a bit, leaving the tour! He showed us the meeting hall, several geothermal methods of cooking, how the hot baths work, and even passed by a Catholic Church inside the establishment. It was nice to see the actual residents congregate and come together. I got to wave to some of them, and that was nice! If I wasn’t rushed to my next tour, I would have enjoyed spending extra time exploring the areas of the premise more! They have several gift shops there - so you feel like when you buy something, you directly help the people there. Also, Daniel gave us tutorials on Maori pronunciation! It was fun, and we got to corn, cooked Maori way under the water heated by geothermal heat!

• 5We really enjoyed the visit

  We found the place to be amazing. The guide was very informative and it gave us new insight into Maori Village living. The views of the thermal pools and geyser were great, and we enjoyed the corn pulled out from the pool they use for cooking.

• 5Authentic tour

  Very interesting tour, our guide was exceptional. Lots of information about the history of the village and how it came to be. Loved getting to eat the corn cooked in the hot spring. The museum at the bottom is very informative too.

About Rotorua

Rotorua is a geothermal city on New Zealand's North Island, with steaming vents, bubbling mud, a lake and a strong Māori culture.

Rotorua sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua in the centre of the North Island, a city built on a volcanic plateau where steam rises from vents in parks and by the roadside and the smell of sulphur hangs in the air. The Te Arawa people have lived here for centuries, and their culture is visible in carved meeting houses, performances and the living village of Whakarewarewa, where residents cook food in natural steam.
