Mitai Maori Village Visit
Mitai Maori Village
Come and meet the People of the Land at Mitai Maori Village. The Mitai Family endeavour to bring you the most authentic Maori Cultural experience in NZ today.
This experience includes the world famous Fairy Spring, the Maori war canoe (waka) paddle-by, Maori song and dance (haka), traditionally cooked hangi meal, glow worm tour and an evening bush walk and talk about Maori medicines.
Sudden movement amongst a sea of green alerts you to the fact that you are not alone in this enchanted forest. The swirling waters of the sacred spring mingle with the approaching chants of the warriors on the Maori war canoe (waka) as if coming from the past they breathe life into the raw culture which has survived the tides of change. We are proud to be Maori and honored to share with you the stories, trial, tribulations and teachings of the ancient Maori.
The ancient village has gone but its people remain. We take you from the present to the past so please remember this 'there's more than meets the eye.
A truly unique and awe inspiring experience.
