Watch as Māori warriors paddle down the Wai-o-Whiro stream in a waka (canoe) to the sound of traditional instruments.

Marvel at their award-winning performers as they share the haka (war dance), poi dancing and more.

Next, you will be invited to walk through the ngahere (forest), seeing a replica ancient, fortified village while learning the old ways of living and survival.

Discover the natural resource Te Puna a Tuhoe, a local sacred freshwater spring, before trying to spot glow worms lighting up the banks of the forest.

Finally, sit down with your newfound friends to enjoy a hāngī. Cooked in the earth, over hot rocks, you’ll eat your fill of chicken, kūmara (sweet potato) and much more.

How is a hāngī cooked?

A hāngī is cooked in an earth-oven. A hole is dug 1-2m into the ground and baskets of kai (food) are placed on hot stones at the bottom of a hāngī pit. The kai is then covered to trap the heat. The steam and heat from heated hāngī stones infuse the kai with delicious earthy flavours while it cooks for 3-4 hours.
