Description:

Explore the best of traditional New Zealand culture. Wander the Maori village of Rotowhio, witness the geothermal valley with its mud and mineral pools, and glimpse the unique kiwi birds.

Stroll through the Maori villages of Tamaki, Tepuia, and Mitai and marvel at the charming carvings of the meeting house that is still used to this day. Gaze at the flightless, endangered kiwi birds flourishing behind their enclosure.

Walk through the active geothermal valley of Whakarewarewa, home to an array of geysers, boiling mineral pools, bubbling mud pools, and steaming vents and fumaroles. Learn how the Maori cook using the boiling mineral pools.

Enjoy a customary Maori welcome ceremony with charming dance and song, and learn about the traditional ways of weaving and carving as you interact with authentic artisans who represent the history of Maori culture.
