  • Ohinemutu
    Your Rotorua adventure begins with a private guided walking tour through Ohinemutu, a living Māori geothermal village situated on the shores of Lake Rotorua. It is also home to Ngāti Whakaue. Ngāti Whakaue is a sub-tribe of the Te Arawa waka (canoe) which journeyed from the Pacific homeland of Hawaiiki to New Zealand around 1350AD. Ohinemutu Village was the city centre for the Rotorua region in the early 1870’s. Visitors, including royalty, arrived at this bustling settlement before going on to visit the Pink and White Terraces at Lake Tarawera, and to experience the healing waters of Rotorua. Today, Ohinemutu is the setting for many significant occasions for the people of Rotorua. It an area of spiritual, historic and cultural importance. You will be guided by a Ngāti Whakaue descendent or family member and learn about a distinctive way of life, see the natural cooking pools and bathing areas, admire the paramount traditional meeting house and St Faith’s Anglican church.
