The devastating eruption of Mt Tarawera in 1886 was undoubtedly New Zealand’s most significant natural event changing forever; Rotorua’s history, landscape and people.

The Rotorua Trilogy package combines three iconic cultural and natural heritage attractions -

 Rotorua Museum

 Waimangu Volcanic Valley

 Whakarewarewa, The Living Thermal Village.

Individually, each attraction is distinctive, yet collectively they bring to life a timeless and powerful story. This self drive package includes admission into all three locations.

Set amidst a landscape of erupting geothermal activity, hot thermal springs and hot bubbling mud pools is the Living Maori village of Whakarewarewa situated in Rotorua, the heart of the North Island.

Discover the unique lifestyle and traditions as you join a guided tour and see the wonders of Mother Nature and learn how the people have come to live in harmony within this unique environment. 

Then sit down and relax at the twice daily cultural performances while your senses are thrilled and entertained through the medium of performing arts.  Melodious voices accompanied by hand movements tell the stories of heritage, past and present.

 

Whakarewarewa Thermal Village & Hangi Pie Experience

Click here for more information and bookings

Enjoy a guided tour & cultural show at Whakarewarewa followed by a Hangi experience.

Hangi simply means “food cooked in the ground or an earth oven”.  Using the gift of the geothermal activity when the ground gives way, a box is made above the newly created vent and a lid is placed on top.  Food is then placed inside the box to steam and cook the food, this type of hangi is traditional within the village but not to Maori in general.

Your meal includes a Whaka Hangi Pie (containing two meats, vegetables and bread stuffing encased in a golden puff pastry) & dessert – all cooked in the geothermal steam and hot springs.
