Te Pā Tū

Definitely a highlight of my entire holiday. So amazing to feel like this incredible group are sharing their culture with us. We learned so much. The knowledge, talent and charisma of these educators is off the charts. The food was really good and we had the alcohol-free menu, which had a range of delicious mocktails instead of wines. Even our bus driver, Dennis, was entertaining, sweet, and informative. And our guide CJ explained a lot to us.

This was such an amazing experience. My expections were exceeded more than I could ever imagine. Very emotional experience listening to the songs and hearing the history and stories. The food was plentiful and delicious I highly rate and recommend this experience. I came to New Zealand to get a grasp of the culture and this was definitely well worth it. Thank you so much to Te Pā Tū 🙏💯💚

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We were worried it might be a bit of a tourist attraction presenting Māori culture in a superficial, family-friendly way — but instead it was wonderful to connect so closely with a people who have preserved their traditions for hundreds of years and continue to practise and share them within their community. Thank you for allowing us to interact so much with the hosts, for not turning it into a simple performance, and for the dinner — generous, complete, and of excellent quality! A truly interesting and fun afternoon. My only regret is not putting myself forward as Chief of our group when they asked on the bus…

A truly amazing, magical and fabulous experience. The whole night was beyond my expectations. So much action, performances, music, culture and history, plus some amazing food from canapes upon arrival to 3 course dinner.

Wonderful group of young and highly skilled performers who genuinely enjoyed sharing and teaching us some pieces of Māori culture. Unlearned a lot. The Hangi style cooked food was really good. But most of all both the visitors and the performers had fun together. Great experience.

An incredible experience - genuine Māori culture that is both entertaining and educational. The whānau (family) that runs this place is wonderful, warm, inviting, and deeply immersed in Māori culture. 10/10 recommend this experience for those wanting to see and learn about the Māori people and culture. 5 stars🔥

Wow wow wow What a fantastic night this was !! Right from the start,it was incredible! The kindness and depth of knowledge from the team here was second to none . So welcoming. The forest experience was amazing! The food was never ending ! The singing moved me to tears more than once . This is an absolute MUST do !!! Five star ⭐️

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend. The family and performances were just wonderful! You felt like family leaving and learned so much about their culture. I wanted to hug all of them when leaving. One minor suggestion: everything was wonderful but the dinner felt really long. If they could make the dinner a little faster, it would make it perfection. Highly recommend though overall! A must do.
