Tūhourangi Uri Visits to Waimangu Volcanic Valley

Check it out whānau! Free visits for all Tūhourangi registered iwi beneficiaries to the beautiful Waimangu Volcanic Valley on any day of the year.

This generous offer replaces the ‘Iwi Open Weekends.’

Contact Ngarepo (Ngarepo@tuhourangi.iwi.nz) at the Tūhourangi office if you’d like to book, including the number and names of your guests. Please allow five working days to have this sorted for you.

Ngarepo will confirm availability with the Waimangu office then confirm with you if that date is available – or suggest an alternative date/time. You must be registered with Tūhourangi Tribal Authority to take up this offer.

The Offer:

FOC Walk and Boat Cruise (boat cruises subject to availability) at Waimangu for all Tūhourangi and Ngāti Rangitihi registered iwi beneficiaries. 

Valid until further notice.

The Process:

• Beneficiary contacts respective iwi office (ngarepo@tuhourangi.iwi.nz) who will validate the request.

• Iwi office contacts Waimangu via email 48 hours out from the visit date via nature@waimangu.co.nz with details on numbers and names*. 

• Waimangu checks availability and either (1) confirms the booking or (2) suggests another date if space is not available (space on the boat that is…the walk is highly unlikely to be unavailable).

• Iwi office advises the manuhiri

• Manuhiri arrive and enjoys a great visit at Waimangu!

*exceptions to this process may occur very occasionally which would mean a phone call from the respective iwi offices (or one of our board members).

NOTE: if the visit is not prearranged using this process then the manuhiri are to pay for entry fees.
