Maori Cultural Evening
The Maori people have long been settled in Rotorua and this is one of the best places in New Zealand to see and experience aspects of their culture. In a native forest 15 minutes south of Rotorua, we spend an evening sharing and feasting on a selection of foods cooked the traditional Maori way – on hot stones in an authentic earthen oven (a Hangi). Understand the spiritual significance of the moko (facial tattoo) as warriors demonstrate with tools made of fine bird bone and sharpened greenstone and then perform a concert including the world famous ‘Haka’. An educational and enlightening experience, coupled with a ‘good feed’ and sing-a-long makes for a unique and entertaining experience!
