Excellent
Te Puia spans 70 hectares within the historic Te Whakarewarewa Valley, on the edge of town. We are home to the world famous Pohutu geyser, to mud pools, hot springs, to silica formations to the Kiwi bird and the national schools of wood carving, weaving, stone and bone carving. We have shared these treasures with manuhiri (visitors) for 170 years and proudly continue that legacy today.

Hangi buffet in stunning location
We booked for a family lunch at Te Puia's Pataka Kai mostly because we were very keen to try hangi food. Te Puia is a resort offering all sorts of experiences of Matauranga Maori, all of which sounded amazing but for us, a bit expensive so this time we just did the lunch. The restaurant is a very modern, concrete building designed to capture the magic of the geyser. What a spectacle. We had lunch - and we loved it - (more options than we could sample!) but the spectacle of the geyser outstripped anything food could offer. Isn't nature amazing.

Worth a visit
Highly recommendable in Rotorua. It's the best way to know more about this particular volcanic area. We had not booked the trip in advance but we managed to join one of the latest tours (15,30). Our maori guide was excellent. Clear and sound. First you visit one of the last kiwi species and receive all the necessary information about its conservation. Then the mud area and the geyser, which is amazing. And after a short journey in a small train, they show you some of the art techniques of the maories. Very interesting tour
