Whakarewarewa Village Guided Tour

Experience the Manaakitanga (hospitality, kindness, generosity, support) of our people on the Legacy Village Guided Tour through NZ's Iconic Living Maori Village. As one of New Zealand's oldest Whanau (Family) Tribal owned businesses, we pioneered Tourism in Rotorua. Join us as we welcome you to our home, where you'll immerse in daily life amidst natural Geothermal activity. - Explore an authentic living Māori village where people use natural geothermal resources for daily life, just as they have for centuries. - View the geothermal wonders of Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, including the world-famous Pōhutu geyser, boiling mud-pools, steam vents, and bubbling hot pools. - Learn about life in the challenging geothermal platea - cooking in bubbling pools, bathing in therapeutic waters, and discover various historical landmarks and buildings, including an active Marae (meeting grounds and focal point of Maori communities), WWII Memorial Archway, historic churches, and tapu (sacred) burial grounds. Whakarewarewa embodies NZ's iconic Living Maori Village experience.
