This is the deeper version of a Rotorua geothermal visit. It gives you exclusive access to a piece of untouched geothermal landscape at Whakarewarewa, the living Māori village.
Your guide interprets the land, the plants, the animals and how this rare environment works, bringing together Mātauranga Māori, the Māori knowledge framework, with modern science. Expect earth science, ecology and biodiversity, plus what the land means for health, the environment and a changing climate.
It runs for about three hours. If you'd rather wander on your own, the village's self-guided geothermal trails are the shorter option.
