Immerse yourself in New Zealand’s rich Maori culture with this evening tour of Tamaki Maori Village.
Why we love Tamaki Maori VillageÂ
The Tamaki Maori Village evening experience is New Zealand’s most awarded cultural attraction; and it’s no surprise, the night is spectacular with ceremonial rituals, powerful cultural performances, storytelling & hangi feasting.
About the activity
An intricately carved gateway leads you to the fringe of a lush 200-year-old native Tawa forest. Warriors emerge from the forest by canoe to perform the powhiri, an ancient ceremony of welcome that allows you & other visitor’s safe passage into the village. As you wander beneath the stunning forest canopy, the village is alive with sights, sounds & activity of days gone by including haka, poi, tattooing, weaving, carving & arts of warrior training. Watch as the earth is carefully scraped away to reveal baskets of food cooked beneath the ground on hot stones. Complete your exclusive experience with a traditional hangi buffet feast!
