Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Māori culture at Mitai Māori Village, where an authentic pōwhiri (ceremonial welcome) sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Witness the powerful haka performance, listen to ancient legends passed down through generations, and gain insight into traditional Māori customs, weaponry, and way of life. Savor a delicious hāngī feast, prepared using an age-old cooking method where food is slow-cooked underground, infusing it with rich, smoky flavors. As night falls, marvel at the sight of warriors paddling a traditional waka (canoe) down the sacred stream and take a guided walk to see glowworms illuminating the native bush.
Continue your adventure in the breathtaking Whakarewarewa Forest, home to towering California Redwoods and a lush, serene environment. Stroll along the tranquil trails beneath these majestic trees, soaking in the fresh air and natural beauty. For a truly unique perspective, opt for the Redwoods Treewalk (additional cost), where you can explore an enchanting network of suspended bridges, offering stunning aerial views of the forest canopy. This experience perfectly blends Māori heritage with the natural wonders of New Zealand, making it an unforgettable journey through culture and nature.
