Nestled in the midst of Rotorua&#39;s ancient Tawa&nbsp;Forest is the Maori Village, the most award-winning Maori cultural attraction in New Zealand!

&nbsp;

Journey back in time, a time before the European settlement, and experience the Maori way of life. Learn about their tribal culture and customs, gain an insight into the story of the Maori migration, witness ceremonial performances and feast on a traditional hangi meal.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Start by enjoying a scenic coach journey&nbsp;to the Tawa&nbsp;Forest, during which you&#39;ll hear interesting stories of the Maori legends from your driver. You and your fellow guests must also carry out the honourable task of assigning a Chief to represent your group upon arrival - an esteemed title in Maoridom.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

When you arrive, you are not permitted to enter beyond the Tamaki village&#39;s outskirts until a formal welcome ceremony ritual has been performed by members of the Maori tribe. The &#39;Chiefs&#39; chosen to represent each group are lined up in front of the village warriors who perform the &#39;haka&#39;, a traditional war dance proclaiming strength and prowess. After a peace offering has been made by each chief, you are then welcomed to listen to the &#39;Karanga&#39;, a welcome call, and watch the &#39;Powhiri&#39;, a welcome dance which permits safe passage into the village Tamaki.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

As you wander around the village, take the&nbsp;time to visit their traditional houses of learning dedicated to &#39;Haka&#39;, &#39;Poi&#39;, and warrior training. You will be given the opportunity to participate in learning these traditions.&nbsp;

 
Enjoy displays of weaving, carving and tattooing before being led to the village waterway where you&#39;ll hear stories about the great Maori migration in magnificently carved canoes (wakas)&nbsp;across&nbsp;the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You will then head to the authentic hangi pit, where your traditional hangi meal, consisting of meats and smoky vegetables has been cooked underground for many hours. Once ready, the baskets laden with food are lifted from the pit before being prepared for a huge hangi feast to follow.&nbsp;From here, you&#39;ll head to the sacred meeting house, where you will enjoy a cultural performance complete with harmonious singing and traditional dances.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Please note:

&nbsp;

From June 2022,&nbsp;Tamaki Māori Village presents TE PĀ TŪ.

&nbsp;

Te Pā Tū shares a 4-hour evening feasts aligned to and changing with the maramataka (Māori lunar calendar). &nbsp;

&nbsp;

Feast on Māori song, tradition, and divine seasonal kai (cuisine) within the forest Pā (village), towering Tawa trees, blazing bonfires, and forest-formed amphitheatre.

&nbsp;

Hākari (feasting) begins with forest horotai (canapes) and culminates in a lavish 3-course fusion feast.

&nbsp;

Hāngi is just one of the stars in seasonal menus designed by award winning Māori chefs and prepared by the experience&#39;s very own ringawera (hot hands) served to table, al fresco when warm, or in a wharekai if chilly.

&nbsp;

Winter: Tū Te Ihi celebrates the Matariki star cluster with mystical ritual, energy, and passion.&nbsp;

What a great experience

Booking with backpacker deal was the best idea. Not only was Tamaki Cultural Experience the highlight of our trip from the minute the bus driver picks you up from your hotel till he drops you back off, booking with backpackers was also very professional and efficient. We throughly enjoyed the evening. Very educational and entertaining.

Highlight of our trip

We had fun and the food was good. Although one dessert had a lot of egg shells that we kept finding in our mouths.
