Te Puia

Explore one of only two geyser fields in the world that exists in its natural state, right here in our backyard. What you see here, forever changes how you see things out there.

Rotorua’s Kaiarahi brings the cultural and conservation narratives to life, sharing stories handed down through generations of guides. Revealed under night skies, Geyser By Night is a multi-sensory experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

Head here for a day spent exploring geothermal walks, the kiwi conservation centre and Maori carving and weaving. Be sure to drop by Pātaka Kai for a delectable meal served against the backdrop of geysers and native bush. The stunning restaurant serves coffees, sweets and a la carte lunch Monday to Friday, as well as buffet lunches on Saturday and brunch on Sunday.

Just a short drive from Rydges Rotorua but you’ll feel a world away from the bustle of the city from the moment you arrive.
