Whakarewarewa Village Guided Tour

Whakarewarewa Village Guided Tour:
Explore an authentic living Māori village where people live daily, using natural geothermal resources to cook, bathe, and heat their homes as they have for centuries. Village guides are direct descendants of early Māori guides. Their insights, knowledge, and legendary hospitality (manaakitanga) add depth and richness to your experience.

View the geothermal wonders of Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley including the world-famous Pōhutu geyser, boiling mud pools, steam vents, and bubbling pools on a 60-90 minute guided tour. Learn what it’s like to live in the challenging geothermal plateau where daily life includes cooking in the bubbling pools and steam vents and bathing in the refreshing therapeutic waters.

Take in historical landmarks and buildings, including an active Marae (meeting grounds and focal point of Maori communities) and tapu (sacred) burial grounds at Whakarewarewa, the Living Maori Village.
