I cannot find a highlight of the Mitai Experience as the whole evening was wonderful from beginning to end! I felt really immersed in the culture, history and stories told. The bush walk, waka warriors, glowworms and cultural performance were superb and I'm only sorry that I'm not a huge eater and was unable to manage seconds of the absolutely delicious hanging! My thanks to all the wonderful staff, performers and whanau. I would recommend the Mitai Experience to anyone!

The dinner was delicious with lots of variety and great desserts and coffee was nice with dessert. Unfortunately it was a very rainy evening and the outside portions were somewhat difficult. The foot-ing was difficult and could have been dangerous during the last little parade outside after the show. The second walkabout outside could have been eliminated tonight due to the rain. However, the umbrellas were much appreciated.

We loved the food & the event. The only issue was the information supplied by Headout about the pickup from our hotel. The email said 18:15 pickup be there 15 minutes early. The coach turned before 18:00. So we missed the pickup. The hotel contacted the event & another coach was sent out to pick us. So we missed the very beginning on the show.

The night and entertainment at the Matai Maori village was excellent. The only disappointment was someone forgot to pick us up at the hotel and we had to organise other transport.

An entertaining evening and interesting introduction to Maori culture. The hosts were very helpful, as we needed to arrange a pick up. The food was fine and the whole evening was nicely paced.

It's great to learn about a culture, especially from the people who lives it. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, from the performance to the night walk...... best part is we don't feel this is being commercialised but rather a very educational experience. Keep it this way please......

Be regaled with creative storytelling around the history, culture, and traditions of this village.

After a welcoming ceremony, a traditional meal is unveiled and set to slow cook in an earth oven for consumption at the end of your visit.

You will be privy to warriors paddling down the Wai-o-Whiro stream by canoe, and cultural performances galore.

Stroll through nature and see an ancient fortified village, the spring of Te Puna Tapu o Tuhoe, and glow worms illuminating the forest.

Discover the ways of living, natural resources, and survival techniques used by indigenous peoples.

Wind down with authentic food cooked in a hāngī pit, and engage in a lively question and answer session.

The cultural experience, the welcoming people

Start your evening by being welcomed to the Mitai Maori Village, where a traditional ceremony awaits. You’ll witness warriors paddle down the Wai-o-Whiro stream in authentic canoes, offering a glimpse into ancient Māori life. The evening includes the unveiling of your hangi dinner—cooked underground using hot stones. Watch as steam rises and the meal is unearthed before your eyes.

As you enjoy your buffet feast, which features everything from succulent lamb to flavorful seafood, the cultural show begins. You'll see captivating performances, including the famous haka, poi dances, and Māori songs, all presented with passion and pride. Throughout the night, you’ll have opportunities to ask questions and engage with the performers, deepening your understanding of Māori traditions.

The experience includes a nature walk with a guide who will explain how the Māori people lived in harmony with their environment in the ancient fortified village. At night, the forest lights up with native glowworms, adding a magical touch to this cultural experience.

What to bring

Dress in layers for changing weather conditions. Bring a hat for sun protection, a jacket in case of rain, and an insect repellant. Comfortable shoes with good traction are essential for the bush walk.

What's not allowed

Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted inside. There is a bar available onsite.

Accessibility

The forest walk has limitations for wheelchair accessibility. The stairs, uneven surfaces, and platform-based canoe viewing may pose challenges for wheelchair users.
