Description
Discover more about the fascinating Maori culture in New Zealand on a 3 hour guided tour at Te Puia in Rotorua. On this popular Steambox experience, choose your own Hangi steamed lunch and enjoy it overlooking a cobalt blue lake and one of the most famous Rotorua geysers. This is a fantastic way to explore the Te Whakarewarewa geothermal valley in Rotorua, but with a twist.
Te Puia is a fascinating geothermal wonderland in Rotorua that combines extraordinary natural attractions with sharing New Zealand’s rich cultural narrative. On the 3 hour Steambox experience, the highlight of the tour is selecting your very own Hangi steamed lunch, which is then cooked in a natural steam vent. This creates a deliciously unique flavour, and there is no better place to enjoy your picnic than next to some of the best Rotorua attractions.
The Steambox tour grants you an exclusive dining experience in the geyser marquee, which has the best view of Pōhutu Geyser (the largest geyser in the southern hemisphere). This famous Rotorua geyser erupts approximately 20 times a day, with the water and steam often reaching heights of 30 metres. Beneath Pōhutu lies the 'Blueys'. This affectionately named cobalt blue lake is a result of silica produced from the Pōhutu Geyser, which then runs from the geyser terrace to the lake.
Your Steambox tour in Rotorua also includes access to the Kiwi Conservation Centre and an introduction to Maori arts & crafts, including greenstone, flax weaving and wood carving.
