Home to the world-renowned Pohutu geyser and New Zealand&#39;s Maori Arts and Crafts Insitute, Te Puia is one of Rotorua&#39;s top attractions and a must-do activity when in the area.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

 
Geothermal Valley&nbsp;

 
The Whakarewarewa geothermal valley is a very special place; it is rich in cultural and spiritual history and has been home to the Te Arawa people for generations. The valley itself has huge geological significance - it is home to the world famous 30-metre Pohutu geyser, which erupts over 20 times every day, as well as hot springs, silica terraces, boiling sulphurous pools and bubbling mud pools.&nbsp;

 
The region has many stories just waiting to be shared with you - and during the tour, Maori guides will proudly recount stories handed down from their tipuna (ancestors) to help you connect with the majestic site and experience its awesome power.

 
Kiwi Birds&nbsp;

 
Te Whakarewarewa is home to many species of natives plants and birds. During the tour, guides will journey through each of these species and describe how the Maori&#39;s used these natural resources in their lives.&nbsp;

 
You will also have the opportunity to view live kiwi birds in their nocturnal kiwi house and learn all about New Zealand&#39;s national icon and the plight of this rare bird.&nbsp;

 
Maori Culture

 
Maori&#39;s love to showcase their vibrant culture through song and dance. Storytelling is in their blood, and everyone and everything has a story to tell. Even the architecture at the Valley has stories behind it - with Maori carvings and structures that hold deep cultural significance, for instance, the carved entranceway and the &#39;Rotowhio Marae&#39; (the meeting place).&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

For over 50 years, students from tribes across New Zealand have assembled at the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute located at Te Puia to learn time-honoured traditions in danger of being lost forever.&nbsp;
