Description
Begin your day in Rotorua with a 5-hour Māori World Tour. Guided by local experts, explore the significance of the land, ancestors, and the spiritual elements that shape Māori culture. Learn about the sacred mauri stone, symbolizing deep connections to the whenua (land) and tūpuna (ancestors), setting the tone for a day of cultural discovery. Continue your experience with a seamless transition into the Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa for a 2-hour Restorative Journey. This multi-sensory wellness ritual draws on centuries-old Ngāti Whakaue practices, blending geothermal heat, water, mud, and steam. Move through seven therapeutic steps: begin at Te Hihiri, the Blessing Stone, then refresh under the Waterfall Showers. Invigorate your senses in the Tongariro Fire & Ice Caves before soaking in the Lake View Pools with vistas of Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island. Rejuvenate your skin in the Geothermal Mud Lounge, relax in the Steam Room, and complete your journey with a final blessing at Te Ngao. Throughout, enjoy tangible comforts such as towels, a locker, robe, and vanity kit.Includes
