An evening of culture, kai and connection—our most popular night experience. Te Pō Combo begins at 4pm with a fully guided tour of our valley, followed by a buffet dinner and cultural performance—each element designed to deepen your connection to our historic geothermal valley and immerse you in Māori culture. Explore the stunning landscape of native bush, geysers, and mud pools, and feel the power of Pōhutu Geyser—the largest in the Southern Hemisphere! Your guided journey takes you through the geothermal valley, with visits to the Kiwi Conservation Centre and New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. Savour a delicious hāngī buffet at our Pātaka Kai Restaurant & Bar, overlooking a geothermal wonderland. Enjoy fresh produce, traditionally cooked meats and vegetables, kai moana (seafood), and sweet desserts. Be captivated by a cultural performance in our beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. The show includes a pōhiri (traditional welcome), waiata, mōteatea, poi, and haka. Wrap up the evening with a stroll back into the geothermal landscape while sipping hot chocolate. This experience lasts around 4.5 hours and is suitable for all ages.

Bandya Mama - Everything was very well organized

This place is absolutely worth the trip and the price. It was a truly magical experience and a wonderful way to learn about Māori culture.The haka performance and the traditional songs were absolutely beautiful. The performers’ voices were incredible, and the dances were powerful and moving. Beyond the performances, the wood carving school, the traditional crafts, and the Māori jewellery are true treasures that reflect the richness of their culture and heritage.

A Fantastic Way to Experience Māori Culture

Absolutely loved this entire experience. My husband wasn't feeling well, so I went alone and it was fantastic. We saw and did so much, this is a really inclusive way to do it all, and it's run by Maori people who are proud to showcase their culture and educate others about it. You will do everything in the description and more. Worth every penny, highly recommend.
