Overview

1 hour

Mobile ticket

See the valley like never before, with paths, geysers and landscapes illuminated in a spectrum of light. Journey from the depths of darkness into the world of light as Mārama amplifies the beauty of our geothermal wonderland.

This hosted, carefully curated outdoor night-time walking experience blends storytelling, artistry and sound. The music of local artist Maisey Rika weaves throughout, guiding you from the festival-like entrance, past interactive artworks, and into the valley where ten unique scenes are brought to life in light.

Pause at the Terrace to enjoy a sweet treat or drink (available for purchase) while taking in views of the magnificent Pōhutu Geyser.

Comfortable footwear and warm clothing is recommended. Due to unpaved paths, this is not suitable for wheelchairs or prams.
