Responsible Travel
The visit to a Maori
village provides a
unique insight into the
culture of the original
people of New Zealand.
The optional Maori ‘Hangi’
(traditional meal) will allow you to learn
more about Maori customs, traditional
dance and to eat great food. This is
a low impact trip through a clean and
pristine natural environment.
