Auckland : Rotorua Living Maori Village with Haka & Hangi Lunch

Begin your tour with a scenic bus 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 natural beauty of a geothermal landscape unlike any other.

Enjoy a guided tour through the village, where you’ll learn how the community lives in harmony with the geothermal forces beneath their feet. Stroll along geothermal trails past bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and spouting geysers — each steeped in Māori history and mythology.

Experience a powerful haka and cultural performance, then savour a traditional hāngī meal cooked with natural steam, followed by a sweet dessert — a true taste of Māori heritage.

After your visit to the village, enjoy a guided driving tour of Rotorua’s key highlights, including the picturesque Government Gardens, tranquil Lake Rotorua, dramatic Sulphur Point, and the historic Rotorua Museum. Then rejoin your group for the return journey to Auckland, reflecting on a day rich in culture, nature, and history.
