Rotorua Maori Village & Wai Ariki Hot Springs Small Group Tour

Begin your tour with a scenic ride from Auckland to Rotorua, where you'll visit the incredible Whakarewarewa – The Living Māori Village. Be welcomed by the warmth of the local Tūhourangi Ngāti Wāhiao people and the beauty of a geothermal landscape unlike any other. Enjoy a guided tour through the village, learning how the community lives in harmony with the geothermal forces beneath their feet. Stroll along trails past bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and spouting geysers — each steeped in Māori history and mythology. After your village visit, continue your day of relaxation at Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa, where a 2-hour restorative experience inspired by Ngāti Whakaue healing traditions awaits. This one-of-a-kind, multi-sensory wellness journey blends the natural elements of geothermal heat, mineral-rich water, mud, and steam to rejuvenate the mind, soothe the body, and restore balance to the spirit.
