Experience the Vibrant Culture of Whakarewarewa

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're starting from Rotorua's central area, head south on Fenton Street towards the intersection with Pukuatua Street. Continue straight as Fenton Street becomes Hinemaru Street. Walk for about 1 kilometer until you reach the end of Hinemaru Street, where it intersects with the lakefront. At this point, turn right and follow the pathway along the lake until you reach the Rotorua Museum. From the museum, follow the signs towards Whakarewarewa, which is located approximately 3 kilometers further. You can either continue walking along the road or catch a local bus (see bus options below) to reach Whakarewarewa. Once you arrive in Whakarewarewa, look for signs directing you to the Meeting Point for Guided Concerts & Cultural Performances.

• Bus

  From the Rotorua Central Bus Station, board the local bus heading towards Whakarewarewa. The bus route typically runs every 20-30 minutes. Make sure to inform the driver of your destination. The ride will take about 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive at the Whakarewarewa stop, disembark and follow the signs to the Meeting Point for Guided Concerts & Cultural Performances, which is located a short walk from the bus stop.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the local rental shops in Rotorua. Head south on Fenton Street, then follow the bike paths along the lakefront towards Whakarewarewa. This route is approximately 4 kilometers and offers beautiful views of the lake and surrounding areas. Once you reach Whakarewarewa, park your bike and follow the signs to the Meeting Point for Guided Concerts & Cultural Performances.
