About this experience

Experience an unforgettable evening at Te Puia, where geothermal wonders, traditional cuisine, and Māori culture come together in one immersive journey. Set within Rotorua’s spectacular geothermal landscape, the Te Pō Combo invites you to discover the stories, flavours, and traditions that make this destination so unique.

The evening begins with a 90-minute guided tour through Te Puia’s 60-hectare Geothermal Valley, where native bush, steaming vents, bubbling mud pools, and the mighty Pōhutu Geyser—the largest geyser in the Southern Hemisphere—showcase the incredible power of nature. Afterwards, enjoy a mouth-watering buffet at the renowned Pātaka Kai Restaurant, Bar, and Café, featuring locally sourced cuisine with an authentic Māori twist in every dish.

The experience continues with an exhilarating cultural performance inside the beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. Witness a traditional Pōhiri (Māori welcome), Waiata (song), Mōteatea (traditional chant), Poi, and the powerful Haka before returning to the geothermal valley aboard an electric waka shuttle. The evening concludes with a hot chocolate enjoyed from a naturally heated rock terrace overlooking the magnificent Pōhutu Geyser, creating a truly memorable finale to an extraordinary Rotorua experience.
