An evening of culture, kai and connection - our most popular night experience.
Te Pō Combo begins at 4pm with a fully guided tour of our valley, followed by a buffet dinner and cultural performance - each element designed to deepen your connection to our historic geothermal valley and immerse you in Māori culture.
Explore the stunning landscape of native bush, geysers, and mud pools, and feel the natural power of Pōhutu Geyser - the largest geyser in the Southern Hemisphere! Your guided journey takes you through the geothermal valley, where you’ll also visit the Kiwi Conservation Centre and the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.
Savour a delicious hāngī buffet at our Pātaka Kai Restaurant & Bar, which overlooks a geothermal wonderland. Enjoy freshly-sourced produce, traditionally cooked meats and vegetables, kai moana (seafood), and a selection of sweet desserts.
Be captivated by a cultural performance in our beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. The performance includes a pōhiri (traditional Māori welcome), waiata (song), mōteatea (chant), poi, and haka.
Wrap up the evening with a stroll back into the geothermal landscape while sipping on hot chocolate.
