Small group day tour from Auckland to Wai-O-Tapu, Te Puia's geothermal valley and a Māori cultural performance with haka, from $385 with Expedigo on Shaara Deals.
The Lady Knox Geyser erupting up to 20 metres, followed by a haka performed in a carved meeting house, are the two bookends of Expedigo's day tour from Auckland, listed on Shaara Deals from $385, pairing Wai-O-Tapu's geothermal park with Te Puia's culture and geysers.
Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland
After hotel pickup in Auckland, the tour reaches Wai-O-Tapu in time to see the Lady Knox Geyser erupt, before exploring the geothermal park — the Champagne Pool, bubbling mud pools and steaming craters, spread across more than 18 square kilometres of volcanic landscape.
Te Puia's geothermal valley
The tour continues to Te Puia for a 90-minute guided walk through the geothermal valley, taking in the Pōhutu Geyser, the Kiwi Conservation Centre, and the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, with the guide sharing Māori traditions and ancestral stories along the way.
Cultural performance at Te Aronui a Rua
The day concludes with a cultural performance in the carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua — a pōhiri (traditional welcome), waiata (song), mōteatea (traditional chant), poi and haka — before the scenic drive back to Auckland.
