What you can expect

  • Begin your journey in the heart of the city at the iconic Sky Tower, before discovering Auckland's rich Māori heritage, cultural landmarks and spectacular natural landscapes.

    Your guided journey first visits Bastion Point / Takaparawhau, one of Auckland’s most culturally significant Māori landmarks. Here, you’ll learn about the history of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, the Māori land occupation movement, and the deep spiritual connection between Māori and the whenua (land), while enjoying sweeping views across the Waitematā Harbour.

    Continue to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, located within the beautiful Auckland Domain, for a traditional Māori cultural performance. Watch as haka, waiata, storytelling and Polynesian navigation traditions bring Māori culture to life.

    Explore fascinating exhibitions featuring waka, carvings and treasured taonga while gaining insight into the customs, traditions and identity of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Indigenous people.

    Next, discover the volcanic landscape of Mount Eden / Maungawhau, one of Auckland’s most significant sacred Māori maunga. Enjoy a guided walk to the Mount Eden Summit, where you'll learn about ancient Māori pā sites, volcanic history and the spiritual significance of the land while taking in breathtaking panoramic views across Auckland, the Auckland Domain and the Waitematā Harbour.

    Complete your cultural journey with a traditional hāngī lunch from The Hangi Shop, featuring authentic Māori-style cuisine including slow-cooked meats, vegetables, kūmara, rewena bread and other local favourites.
