Te Po Indigenous Maori Experience, Rotorua Maori Culture Tour
Feel the spirit of Te Puia at night and experience our heritage - a living legacy of people, culture and place.
In Maori tradition Te Po (the night) was the time when Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatuanuku (Earth Mother) lay in a firm embrace.
It was the time that followed Te Kore (the nothingness) and preceded Te Ao Marama (the world of life). Through the separation of our primordial parents, light permeated Te Po and worldly potential flourished.
Te Po is a traditional and intimate time for sharing knowledge. As the sun rises each day our passage through life is reaffirmed and a new world is created.
Te Po is Te Puia’s new evening cultural experience. It is a feast of cultural storytelling, entertainment and Maori kai (indigenous food).
Te Po Combo
Enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the valley with one of Te Puia’s world renowned guides. As part of the tour you will visit New Zealand’s national carving and weaving schools and witness these disciplines in practice, under the guidance of our full-time master carvers and weavers. You will visit our award winning interactive galleries, see a kiwi bird up close, and most importantly, hear our stories as told by the descendants of the valley. To conclude the tour you will visit the geyser and mud pools and then be invited to have a short rest prior to beginning the evening experience.
