Description

Immerse yourself in a total sensory experience as you see, smell, taste and feel the magic of New Zealand by night. Combine a 3-hour Mitai Maori Village evening cultural experience with an exclusive night tour of Rainbow Springs. After complimentary hotel pickup, enjoy the hospitality of the Mitai family during your evening cultural experience. Witness Maori warriors paddling an ancient war canoe on the Wai-o-whiro Stream and receive a warm welcoming from the Maori women. Watch as your Hangi dinner is lifted from the ground and learn how this traditional feast is prepared. Enjoy an informative and entertaining cultural concert performance. Be captivated by songs, dances, and games, complete with the spine-tingling Haka Maori war dance. Then sit down for an authentic hangi dinner featuring a selection of New Zealand meats and poultry, vegetables, and fresh salads, topped off with a tempting dessert. Your evening at Mitai will conclude with a short bushwalk to the sacred Fairy Springs where you'll hear stories of this land and glimpse glowworms. Continue to Rainbow Springs Nature Park where you'll be guided through the park on an exclusive night tour. Enjoy an easy walk, led by a knowledgeable local guide. Absorb the sights and sounds of the natural environment at night, beautifully enhanced by hundreds of garden lights. Go inside a kiwi enclosure to see the birds up close and hear them forage for bugs. View nocturnal creatures and listen for the striking calls of nocturnal birds. Your experience concludes with your transfer back to your hotel.
