Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Tours

** Introduction to Te Papa Tour **

Begin your guided tour of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa with an overview of Te Papa’s highlights, Maori treasures, and New Zealand history. Begin with a journey that started over a million years ago as you hear stories about the country’s adaptive wildlife, the resilience of the Maori people, and the artistic interpretations of life in the South Pacific. Take this opportunity to understand the vibrant landscapes and cultures you will encounter throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

** Mana Maori Daily Tour **

Embark on an hour-long journey through Te Papa and experience the living and breathing “taonga”, or treasures, of the te iwi take take (first people of the land). These taonga speak about the great journeys across vast oceans and describe their hopeful visions for the 21st century, from historical and contemporary Maori perspectives. Join this tour to hear intimate stories and gain a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s indigenous people.

** Te Papa @ Twilight Tour **

With fewer people in the museum, you will be able to get up close to the rare taonga on display and hear stories about this country’s past, present, and future. Explore this museum leisurely and get ready to be armed with more content.

Discover the Maori culture at its finest.
