Who can spell Whakarewarewa?

An amazing insight into life in a Maori village that lives daily with the prospect of sudden thermal activity.

Whakarewarewa Tour

This tour was comprehensive and informative, and such a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the culture of the Maori who lived and live in this special place.

Highly recommend

I booked a 12pm guided tour interested to learn about this tribes history and way of life. In the end I was fortunate enough to be the only person on my tour with the most amazing guide. Every explanation was thorough and personalized to relate to my own knowledge and culture (Irish). Well worth doing in Rotorua. Definitely go early to explore the history room!

Amazing experience!

Super informative, interesting and educational! Loved the presentation by our tour guide, Dan. He was also engaging and easy to talk. Hope others get to do this experience.

Great experience

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, great value for money. Small group of 6 people. Our guide John was awesome. He lived in the village and regaled us with childhood memories. We learnt so much about the Maori culture and history of the area. His personal input made the tour memorable. Would thoroughly recommend this experience.
