The Steambox experience utilizes a favorite ngawha (steam vent) Puapua, which is in Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley.
Visitors choose what they want for lunch which is then cooked in the steam vent, while they have a guided tour of Te Puia and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute.
After an interactive weaving session and a tour of the carving and weaving schools, visitors then head down into the geothermal valley to the Kiwi house, mud pools and hot springs, and finally, to watch their lunch being lifted from the ngawha. The guests then enjoy their picnic lunch on the geyser terrace.
