For local Maori, the Whakarewarewa Valley is more than a natural wonder. According to tribal history, this was the place where the Goddesses of fire, Te Pupu and Te Hoata, emerged from the earth’s core, inhaling and exhaling, creating the geysers, hot springs and mud pools.

It is within this valley where the fortress of Te Puia once stood, a stronghold never taken in battle.  And it is here where the descendants of the ancients still live today, walking and guiding you through a land more than 40,000 years old.  The richness of history in the valley is second only to the power of Nature.
