Enjoy a visit with a small iwi to learn about Maori life and plant a commemorative manuka tree on a plantation.
Upon arrival, receive a warm welcome by the leader of a small Maori tribe, who reside on the beautiful coast of the Bay of Plenty.
You will then explore the area and enjoy an introduction to Maori traditions. Watch a demonstration of fishing and see how eels are caught in the Waitahanui stream. You will then take your spot in the dining area for a presentation on cooking techniques before savoring a delicious sit-down lunch in the wharekai (traditional dining hall) including hangi-style (hangi, traditionally pressure cooked, in natural underground ‘ovens’) meats and vegetables, and other local delicacies.
After lunch, take time to engage with members of the tribe to learn more about pastimes and customs, before coming together to plant a manuka tree. Your legacy will leave a lasting impact, providing a sustainable environment for honeybees to produce manuka honey for generations to come.
