Cultural Experience & Seasonal Māori Cuisine at Te Pā Tū

Itinerary

New Zealand’s Most Awarded Cultural Attraction, Tamaki Māori Village presents TE PĀ TŪ
Feast on song, drama, tradition, and divine seasonal kai (cuisine) within our forest Pā (village) –blanketed by towering Tawa trees, blazing bonfires, and forest-formed amphitheatre.
Te Pā Tū shares Māori history, traditions, and cultural aspirations across 4-hours of celebration and feasting.
These events change with each season of the maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar.

Summer: Tū Te Rā - Across this lunar phase, the sun expresses optimal energy, the days are longer, and light nourishes the natural world.
Tū Te Rā celebrates abundant harvest and explores concepts, rituals, and stories of ancient Māori warfare and peace.

Winter: Tū Te Ihi includes the time in the earth’s cycle when Matariki stars are high and bright in winter skies.
Te Ihi references the energy and passion stirred by the Matariki cluster and the promise they herald.
