A twilight encounter in the Waipoua Forest. Join a local Maori guide and go deep into the ancient rainforest. Listen to legends and stories passed down from their ancestors over hundreds of years. Begin to understand the spiritual link between the rainforest and Maori.
Connect with the land and feel the difference in the atmosphere of the rainforest, as the day transitions into night. Learn how Maori use plants for medicinal purposes and special Maori chants and songs.
Be enchanted by the giant Kauri trees that surround you and in particular the 3000-year-old, father of the forest - Te Matua Ngahere. And, the national icon - Tane Matua, the largest tree in the rainforest. An easy-going four-hour experience in the Far North of the North Island.
