Wear comfortable shoes as theirs a bit of walking, but get ready for a great time as it’s a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

This is a true Māori experience. Our guide was a proud 5th generation Māori from this village and so knowledgeable about the history. And the geothermal action is astounding. But book earlier in the day so you have a chance to visit the Māori owned shops in the village. We booked later and the shops were all closed. Other than that, an excellent way to learn about the history and culture of this village.

Great to learn about the life and history of the village and the people. To see how they used the natural hot springs to live their lives was very interesting.
