You'll also visit a live kiwi enclosure to see New Zealand's iconic native bird up close.

Learn about Maori culture and traditions as you visit a sacred Marae (meeting house), where you'll hear stories of the Maori people and their connection to this land. This immersive cultural experience is complemented by the stunning natural surroundings, making your visit to Te Puia truly unforgettable.
