Te Puia

Discover one of New Zealand’s most magnificent geothermal wonderlands…

Featuring dramatic geysers, bubbling mud, and beautiful native bush explored by our personalised guided tours. Te Puia is home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute and offers a state-of-the-art Kiwi Conservation Centre, so you can get closer than ever before to our native Kiwi bird.

For generations, Te Puia has welcomed manuhiri (visitors) from all over the world to explore the magic hidden within Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley during both the day and evening.

Every year we host a Waitangi Day and a Matariki event - Nau mai, haere mai. We look forward to welcoming you.
