Your journey through time unfolds when your coach travels to a pre-European village set deep within the forest, 15 minutes from Rotorua.

Let this 3.5-hour tour and your imagination take over as your guide instructs you on the protocol for visiting the marae (Maori village).

A chief is selected, a song is learn't and the eerie cry of the welcome is heard before you enter the world of the proud warriors of the ancient Maori.

You will experience the powhiri (welcome ceremony) before you enter the village, with crackling open fires in front of traditional whare (houses).

You’ll hear traditional Maori instruments and watch the daily activities of days gone by.

In the wharenui (meeting house), a Rangiatea culture group offers a powerful display of haka song and dance. Then, as new friendships are forged, dine on a traditional hangi feast, where the food is cooked slowly beneath the ground in earth ovens.

This is an amazing re-enactment based on real events from history, with real characters, traditional arts and crafts, powerful song and dance while enjoying an authentic Maori Hangi dinner.

Customer review from Trip Advisor

Educational and wonderful evening

We were seated with tourists from other countries, and manage to make friends. Then together, we saw how the Hangi is cooked, and enjoyed the buffet together. Personally, I enjoyed the steamed food and the dessert. Then we watched the Maori concert performed by very experienced and good Maori performers.
Lastly we have a chance to participate in the learning of the Poi dance for the woman and girls, and the Haka for the men/ boys. It was an enjoyable night out for us.
