You'll hear traditional Maori instruments and watch the daily activities of days gone by. In the wharenui (meeting house), a Rangiatea culture group offers a powerful display of haka song and dance. Then, as new friendships are forged, dine on a traditional hangi feast, where the food is cooked slowly beneath the ground in earth ovens.This is an amazing re-enactment based on actual events from history, with real characters, traditional arts and crafts, powerful song and dance while enjoying an authentic Hangi feast.Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

I went to the night experience with a large group of friends. All kiwis but we had an absolute blast. The activities at night in amongst the beautifully lit bush was stunning and then we got treated to an incredible performance by the extended whanau that runs the place. Highly, highly recommended.

Be transported to a time and place where the senses are awakened and the magic of Maori storytelling is brought to life through korero, waiata, haka, games, and laughter in a unique and interactive village experience like no other. We left there feeling very special, well looked after, and thoroughly entertained. Fun for the whole whanau, friends, large groups, and corporates. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou mo to manaaki i a matou o Te Whare Reo Rangatira o Tukarere. No matou te waimarie.

From the welcome, to the interactive activities within the native bush learning about different traditional games and activities in the Tamaki village, to the truly exceptional Maori performance. It was a fun and informative experience for all ages. Highly recommend.
