New Zealand Day 4 Part 1 - Te Puia

07 Jun - Today will be a packed day exploring the volcanic region of the North Island. First off the list will be Te Puia, with their famous geothermal valleys, geysers and mud pools. We have booked a package which will end our day with a Māori Cultural Performance and a dinner cooked using the traditional hot stone steam method. Inside Te Puia, there is also a Kiwi House which housed 2 kiwis which visitor can try to sneak a peek. These kiwis are shy creatures which usually come out during the night to look for food.

 Good weather to start the day
