Post-Symposium Activities
Rotorua is known for bubbling mud pools, erupting geysers and natural hot springs, as well as showcasing our fascinating Maori culture. We are putting together a list of post symposium activities to consider:
Wai Ariki Hot Springs
Nau Mai, Haere Mai. It is time to treat yourself at the end of a hard week of conferencing! You are invited to experience Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa. Wai Ariki is uniquely built on the legacy of Ngāti Whakaue culture, healing practices and manaakitanga (practice of hospitality) – the centuries-old and internationally-renowned Ngāti Whakaue concept of welcoming manuhiri (visitors).
Nestled on the foreshore of the stunning Lake Rotorua and meaning ‘Chiefly Waters’ - Wai Ariki offers two architecturally stunning and culturally authentic areas for you to explore, unwind, rejuvenate, and relax.
Truly a feast for the senses, Wai Ariki is inspired, curated, and owned by the local iwi, Ngāti Whakaue. Both the Wai Whakaora, meaning (Restorative Journey) and the exclusive Āhuru Mōwai, meaning (Sanctuary - a place of peace and tranquillity) are founded on te ao Māori values, traditions, and culture.
Our delegates are invited to indulge in the Restorative Journey Plus for 90 minutes which includes: Waterfall (4 sequential showers to cleanse off the day before your wellness journey begins), Fire and ice cave (3 different saunas, 1 frigidarium), Bathing (2 geothermal pools, 1 hydrotherapy pool, 1 herbal pool and 1 cold plunge), mud experience and a heated steam/mist room, towel, robe, locker, and slippers at a discounted rate of $140 (inc gst)
