Enter the world of Mitai Māori Village and embrace our history and culture. Watch our stories unfold through the dynamic scenes of our warriors paddling down Wai-o-Whiro stream, the melodious sounds of our instruments and entertainment from our performers including the haka. Satisfy your hunger with the traditional Māori Hangi and concluding your evening with a walk through our forest to see the ancient, fortified village learning the old ways of living and survival of our people and discover the natural resource Te Puna a Tuhoe, freshwater spring. The evening is not over until you glimpse the glow worms light up the banks of forest as the veil of darkness sets in.
Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai – come and experience our world…

Everything was great. Except the food was a bit bland with one of the potato dishes. It tasted too flourier

Very welcoming and interesting cultural experience. The best food in New Zealand. Lots of it. The ambient, the explanations, the music, the dance and everything was just perfect. Worth every second of it.

An Auntie suggested I visit here. I’m so glad I did! The experience was educational and quite an experience! From the dancing to the food, the presentation was fun and friendly!
I am very grateful to learn more about Māori culture! Thank you Auntie Tui for the recommendation!

This was a great experience and introduction to Maori history. The presentations were extremely well done and provided insight into not only some of the cultural history of the Maori in New Zealand but also their interactions with Europeans. The "show" for lack of a better term was fun to watch and captivating. A part I really enjoyed was the enthusiasm with which each presenter demonstrated the skill sets and how they were honed - great time and while I do not have children I think this would be great for adults and kids. Also, the evening walk included some glow worm viewing - I love glow worms. The dinner with traditional foods was excellent.

The whole experience was amazing especially walking through the rain forest and seeing the glow worms. The entertainment was wonderful and learning about their ancestral background and the history of the different tattoos. We really enjoyed it!

Hungi, haka, glow worms and cultural performance all in one. We did the evening session with 2 adults and 3 kids aged 11-13. Good food, good entertainment and an insight into Māori culture. Yes it’s touristy, but we’re tourists.

Even though it was raining this night was still amazing. The family running this experience make it so memorable and fun.
The food we had from the hungi was delicious and so much, plenty for everyone. We also had a night walk to see the long boats come through the river, but my most favourite part was watching them perform the Haka!!
Definitely recommend this tour.
