This immersive coastal experience explores the dramatic landscapes of North Otago, combining Māori heritage, geological wonders, and city sightseeing in a single small-group journey.
The tour begins in the seaside town of Karitane, where visitors join a guided cultural walk on the Huriawa Peninsula. Led by local Māori guides, the experience shares stories of ancient warriors, historic battles, tribal traditions, and life prior to European settlement. Set against rugged cliffs and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, the location provides a powerful sense of place and history.
