A truly authentic Māori experience. Let us be your connection to this incredible land of the long white cloud.

It is so personal that only one booking of this tour is accepted per day (up to 10 guests), so you are guaranteed an intimate and spiritual encounter. It's unique, private & exclusive. Embark on a journey of a lifetime and experience being with the locals and the genuine hospitality and knowledge from your local Māori hosts.

Husband and wife duo, Mervyn and Rangimarie, can’t wait to welcome you to their home in New Zealand’s most northern city, Whangārei. Come and immerse your mind, body and soul on your journey of discovery. This is one of those experiences that truly connects you to the land and its people.

Food means so much to us, so it is only fitting that we will end our time together with a shared lunch of our favourite kiwi kai - fresh locally cooked fish n chips, to cement our connection and time together. (dietary requests are welcome)
