Highlights

Enter the world of Mitai Māori Village and embrace our history and culture. Watch our stories unfold through the dynamic scenes of our warriors paddling down Wai-o-Whiro stream, the melodious sounds of our instruments and entertainment from our performers including the haka. Satisfy your hunger with the traditional Māori Hangi and concluding your evening with a walk through our forest to see the ancient, fortified village learning the old ways of living and survival of our people and discover the natural resource Te Puna a Tuhoe, freshwater spring. The evening is not over until you glimpse the glow worms light up the banks of forest as the veil of darkness sets in.


Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai – come and experience our world…

Fantastic performance! Each host carried their segment really well, adding the right touch of humor. The main host was especially impressive—she handled all the guests’ questions with such ease and confidence. The highlight for me was definitely the hangi buffet dinner. I also appreciated how well-organized it was, with guests called up table by table, ensuring everyone could enjoy their food in an orderly manner.

An entertaining and informative tour led both from the main tour guide and the tribe leader who part of the performance team. The performance and Q&A were insightful. The food was delicious with plenty of options—better than other tour meals we had in Rotorua.
