Your Maori guide will explain cultural and spiritual aspects of the land you cross. He will expresses formal greetings to people new to Aotearoa – the “Land of The Long White Cloud”. These include the waiata, (a song relating the local tribe’s origins) and hongi, the pressing of noses.

Travel into the bush where the karakia (ritual prayers) will be performed. These precede the preparation and sampling of traditional medicines

View Nga Kaitiaki - the Guardians of the Forest, huge old trees - silent sentinels guarding places which have special significance to Maori

See "Mareikura” (Noble Lady) – the oldest known Matai tree in the world. Your guide will give you a timeline of local Maori as the tree was growing
