Te Puia Experiences: Geyser by Night
Te Puia Experiences: Geyser by Night
Highlights
A two-hour guided night-time experience through our geothermal valley under the night skies.
When darkness falls the true love story of Rotorua’s geothermal wonderland comes to life.
Until now, the magic hidden within Te Puia has remained a secret that only Mother Nature has truly been exposed to. For the first time, the geothermal valley is revealed under night skies, providing a multi-sensory experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
Walk through our valley and see geysers Pōhutu and Waikite illuminated by lights. Visit the ngāwhā (hot pool) and learn about traditional Māori cooking techniques.
With steam cascading through the valley, your kaiārahi (guide) will share their Māori traditions, heritage, and ancestral stories, offering unique insights into our rich culture.
Geyser by Night begins at 7:45pm and concludes at approx. 10pm. Please allow two hours for this experience.
Please note: The Geyser by Night experience is only available Thursday - Sunday. Walking shoes and a moderate-medium level of fitness are needed and can be subject to the weather. Recommended age of 8+ and must be able to do a late-night walk.
