Whakarewarewa is a sprawling area home to the Te Puia geothermal preserve, with its Maori cultural centre, bubbling mud pots, and the spouting Pohutu Geyser. Alongside steaming thermal pools, Whakarewarewa The Living Maori Village offers cultural dance performances and traditional feasts. Nearby, the vast and wild Whakarewarewa Forest has an elevated walkway among soaring redwoods, and trails for hiking and biking.
