Description
See the valley like never before, with paths, geysers and landscapes illuminated in a spectrum of light. Journey from the depths of darkness into the world of light as Mārama amplifies the beauty of our geothermal wonderland.
This hosted, carefully curated outdoor night-time walking experience blends storytelling, artistry and sound. The music of local artist Maisey Rika weaves throughout, guiding you from the festival-like entrance, past interactive artworks, and into the valley where ten unique scenes are brought to life in light.
Pause at the Terrace to enjoy a sweet treat or drink (available for purchase) while taking in views of the magnificent Pōhutu Geyser. The trail concludes with a farewell beneath the glow of Mārama (the moon), as you pass through the traditional setting of Pikirangi Village.
