Tamaki Maori Village, Whakarewarewa, Rotorua 3073, New Zealand
Nestled in the midst of Rotorua’s ancient Tawa forest is the Tamaki Maori Village, the most award-winning Maori cultural attraction in New Zealand.
Journey back in time, a time before the European settlement, and explore the Maori way of life. Learn about their tribal customs and protocols, gain an insight into the story of the Maori migration, witness cultural performances and feast on a traditional hangi meal.
Start by enjoying a scenic coach journey from your Rotorua accommodation to the Tawa forest, during which you’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.
