Immerse yourself into the heart of New Zealand with a one of a kind experience visiting Whakarewarewa, a living Maori village. As you make your way to Rotorua, you will smell it before you see it, a geothermal wonderland that is still home to Tuhourangi and Ngati Wahiao people. Wander the trail network circling around bubbling mud pots and spouting geysers while learning about the heritage of those that have inhabited the area and lived off its features for over 200 years. We recommend the optional Cultural Performancel to see the famous Haka live! We will also visit The Redwoods & Whakarewarewa Forest, one of Rotorua’s most spectacular natural assets and one of the city’s greatest treasures. Important to have comfortable shoes, sunhats, swimming gears, drinking water. You will head back to sea with a new appreciation for the land and a smile on your face!

The bubbling mud pools and geysers were mesmerizing, but it was learning about the Maori way of life that left the biggest impression. The optional Haka performance was powerful, and the Hangi meal cooked in geothermal steam added an authentic touch. Ending the day with a peaceful soak in the warm waters of Kerosene Creek was the perfect way to reflect on such a unique experience.
