- Join us for a tour of Te Puia Springs and Kiwi Conservation Center in Rotorua, New Zealand. www.tepuia.com/
It was also our sweet Angelique’s special day, and we thought visiting this geothermal attraction would add to a birthday worth remembering.
We joined a guided tour that introduced us to Maori art, culture, and history. We also had the opportunity to see different traditional spaces such as the Marae and Pātaka, also known as a communal Maori “fridge” or storehouse.
Then, we visited the National Bone & Stone, Wood Carving, and Weaving Schools. They make up the Maori Culture Conservation Center, where students learn traditional Maori arts and crafts, Maori language and history, and much more.
We also had the chance to look at the artworks exhibited in the Āhua Gallery and learn about the traditional Maori war canoes that could fit up to 100 warriors!
On our way to the Kiwi Conservation Center, we stopped by to witness Pohutu - the largest active geyser in the Southern hemisphere that shoots water up to 30 meters in the air. Just wow!
The Kiwi bird is a national symbol of NZ and where New Zealanders get their nickname from. It stands for humility and sacrifice.
Kiwis are also nocturnal birds and very sensitive to light, so we couldn’t show you inside their habitat. Unfortunately, New Zealand loses about 2% of the Kiwi population every year, putting the bird on the list of endangered species.
The second part of the Te Puia experience included a tour of the volcanic plateau, geysers, bubbling mud, and geothermal formations. We enjoyed every minute of learning about the chemical processes, the natural history of the area, its formation, and its influence on the rich Maori culture.
We loved the spectacular views and appreciated the warmth but weren’t keen on the sulfur smell :-) At times it even felt like we were walking on the Moon!
Believe it or not, the steam was so hot that they even used it to cook fish, vegetables, meat, and seafood.
Our guide steamed some sweet pudding that doubled as a birthday cake for Angelique. She definitely didn’t expect such a big b-day party!
An interesting fact we learned was that there was only one native Maori language, spoken in different dialects. The Maori also worshiped the same deities, which helped avoid religious wars.
It seemed like everywhere we went in Rotorua, we experienced something extraordinary, and Te Puia just added an extra unique experience to the list.
We did a little more sightseeing around the volcanic area on our own, and we ran into a display with the recently launched Maori emojis.
Julia and Chantal also had fun pronouncing Te WhakarewarewatangaOTeOpeTauaAWahiao - one of the longest Maori words we have ever seen.
On our way out, we shopped for souvenirs to remind us of our visit to Te Puia and had the warmest farewell greeting in Maori.
Overall, it was a wonderful birthday experience for Angelique!
We can’t wait to show you more of our Rotorua adventures. Stay tuned for upcoming videos.

Hope y’all liked your tour of Rotorua all the geyser everything.
We LOVED It!!!
the ending is adorable lol
I got to trace the Maori ancestors all the way back to Persia (Iran-Iraq) and before this, Sumeria. And to the 13th lost tribe of Israel.
There are different Maori dialects and some tribes have different words for actions, objects and ideas. Unfortunately so after the treaty of Waitangi 1840 was signed there was a push to wipe our culture by a suppression act. No speaking our language, carving, weaving, navigation, medicine, dress etc. So much was list. In the 50s to 70s there was a revival and slowly our culture is coming forth. There are archives full of books and newspapers in classical Maori that is difficult to translate because most Maori speakers are book or school taught and no longer native which eliminates the tribal dialects.
Has Julia started studying tourism yet?
She did an online course in hospitality and she's looking to go to hotel management school.

Hello julia
Hello!
Dear friend, I am from India. I am mad of New Zealand. I always dream of landing in NZ by selling my farm land in India and buy farm land in NZ if immigration team accepts.
Only thing which concerns me about New Zealand is high uv rays. Me, as an outdoor person, I am worried about the negative effects of uv on humans, plant and animal life in long run. Can you please help me with the useful info
I’m 100% sure you’d live New Zealand and it’s people. You’re right about the UVs though. They’re pretty strong here and you get easily get burnt in a short amount of time.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders thank you very much for your kind reply. brother, being a farmer, how to over come that situation and does uv intensity increase in the upcoming years, what will be the effect on agriculture..
Now you guys wouldn't know me if I didn't throw in a few fun facts more so for the girls geology channel so here's another fun fact, did you know geysers produced the first ever living matter on this planet, to me that's unique and a honour to have them here in NZ, and if you didn't know NZ is actually a continent which sunk beneath the ocean during its split with gondala the island of new Caledonia was the only land mass of the continent pertruding the ocean, but soon volcanoes and earthquakes rose mighty aotearoa out of the depths a young aotearoa had been born, NZ is a young country studies on our mountainess southern Alps shows NZ is still going up, thanks guys😎
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing this.
Happy Bday to Angelique(pretty sure this was ages ago? lol) those wood carving r so impressive plus the weaving too
Yes it was a while back. You’ll notice this a lot with all our videos. We’re quite behind on posting.
Angeliiiiques birthday! Happy birthday
Mine was 22 November, just the other day, when was yours?
This was filmed a while back. Her b-day in in Sept but Julia and I are in Nov like you!
Kia ora guys awesum video, as you probably guessed I'm a Maori on my father's side and my mum is pakeha(white) she thought dad was Latino/hispanic when they meet 🤣 but I love my Maori side and thanks for sharing our mighty maori culture to the world, hope the girls learnt something for there geology channel and enjoyed themselves, take care guys, the best youtube traveling family out there❤️👍🇳🇿😍
Thanks so much John! I didn’t know you were part Maori that’s so cool! The girls are actually doing geography classes and all these great experiences that they are able to have they can then share them with their students on Geography Made Fun!
Chloe, Julia, Angelique,Chantal greetings girls have a nice weekend 🙋♂️
Thanks so much!
Good evening from Texas
Hello🤗
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders steam pudding sounds good
Hi, what happened to your Instagram page?
Looks like someone reported it for inappropriate content.
@@danensis They probably had a picture of dad on the beach and the nipple censor got confused. Or maybe one of them had their elbow bent and the bum censor got triggered. Or maybe someone was in a bathing suit and they don't have enough followers to ward off the puritanical skin censor. Tbh, at this point I'm rather surprised that IG hasn't gone full-Victorian and started censoring any salaciously exposed ankles. smh
Yeah we still have no idea what triggered it to go down. We’ve been trying over and over to contact their support but still have yet to receive a response. I’m going to start posting on our community tab here on TH-cam for the time being.
harng-ee
Yes!!!
hay birthday girl
🤗It was a while back but still nice to get a b-day wish!
In *NZL* the *slang* is *"LESH GO!!"* not let's go" 😬
Noice...(that's how they say nice too) 😂😂 I'll use lesh go next time.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Sweeeet! 👌🏽
Kapai, . . I have spent many wonderful hours showing overseas visitors Te Puia Springs. I lived so close to there, I could see Pohuta Geyser blowing from my dining room window. More wonderful memories of a magical place. KIwi from Virginia
Kia ora janice hope all is well, I have two cuzzies in the NZ navy heading your way(Virginia)as part of their NZ/USA navy relationship stronghold, they are very excited about Virginia, but because of covid they are limited in what they can do
@@johnpaki1534 Kai ora John, what part of NZ are you from? I am sure your cuzzies will have an great time here in DC, Plenty to see And they will have a lot of fun. This covid thing is making life very difficult for everyone. But 'he waka eke noa' (We are in this together'.) You have a lot to be proud of. I spent many years in Rotorua and knew the Morrisons and the Rika's plus many others. Kia Kaha
So cool to see you guys connecting here! 🙌
Hang has it's own flavour
Yes and it's amazing that you can cook in an underground oven.
Hiya all from Helensville, just out of lockdown and been back to the pools and cafe with friends. Birthday on Wednesday.

Been there many times.
Cool! What a great tour and way to learn more about the Maori culture.
Hi
Hello 🤗
Good morning from Brasil 🇧🇷🌻
Hello!

I would have to say yes. We love Europe because of all the rich culture and history. The buildings and narrow streets are all so beautiful!
Hey guys if I told you NZ is actually a continent would you believe me??
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders if I told you NZ/new caledonia is actually a continent would you believe me lol
