The Living Thermal Village

For an introduction to Māori life, visit this authentic village. On a guided tour you'll see thermal pools where villagers bathe, boiling mineral pools, and natural steam vents where residents cook. You can add on a cultural performance and hāngi meal to complete the experience. Arts and crafts are available at local shops in case you want to take home a memento.
