Are you a local? Have you visited our award-winning Maori culture and geothermal experience lately? Take advantage of our locals rate for 50% off our Culture Experience!
We’d love our experience to be enjoyed by the locals more regularly. So we’ve come up with a local’s rate to entice you to keep coming back!
Who are locals?
We define locals in the wider sense of the word! For us, locals are all residents living in Rotorua, Taupo, Tokoroa, Tirau, Waihi, Tauranga, Whakatane, Opotiki, Mangakino, Putaruru – and everywhere in between! Check out our map to see where you fit in.
What’s included with the Cultural Experience?
Our Cultural Experience includes entry into our Pā (village) and includes a guided tour, which takes place on the hour, every hour. Enjoy the sweet sound of our in-house cultural performance group, Te Pakira, twice daily at 11.15am and 2.00pm (there’s a third concert in summer at 12.30pm, ending 22 April). Don’t forget to bring some comfy walking shoes so you can check out Pōhutu Geyser, the largest geyser in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as explore our unique nature walks, our colourful steaming lakes and thermal pools!
We recommend taking three hours to enjoy our Cultural Experience package, but you are also welcome to stay all day! There are souvenir shops and yummy food options from our cafe (make sure you try our world-famous hangi pie!).
