About Us
Our People »
For Māori, connections between people are integral to our culture. Te Puia offers you, through our wonderful people, an opportunity to sense our history and feel our living culture.
Our Culture »
We are kaitiaki (guardians) of Māori culture and are home to the national schools of carving and weaving, where you can watch and interact with master carvers, weavers and their students.
Our Stories »
Māori legends or Korero-o-Neherā are passed down through time and generations in our stories, it is also in this way that we can preserve the traditions of old.
Our Place »
The special geothermal valley includes bubbling mud pools, spectacular geysers, hot springs, boiling thermal pools, silica terraces, as well as native plants and animals.
