Morning: Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before setting off to truly unwind at Hell’s Gate, where Rotorua’s geothermal healing waters take centre stage.

Afterwards, soak in the sulphur spas, where the warm, mineral-laden water eases tired muscles and rejuvenates the skin.
Afternoon: It’s time for a relaxing cultural and geothermal experience at Te Puia, home to the Southern Hemisphere’s largest active geyser, Pōhutu, as well as bubbling mud pools and natural hot springs. Wander through this steaming, otherworldly landscape, take in the serene beauty of the geothermal valley, and learn about Māori carving, weaving, and traditions at the New Zealand Māori Arts & Crafts Institute.
Evening: You don’t need to leave Te Puia to enjoy a remarkable dinner. Book dinner at Pātaka Kai for a relaxed and delicious buffet. Inspired by the land and its bounty, this Māori-inspired dining experience offers kai cooked in traditional hāngī ovens, alongside modern New Zealand cuisine with fresh, local ingredients. Dine overlooking the steaming geysers, and watch Pōhutu Geyser erupt as you enjoy your meal—an experience like no other.
