Matariki for Families at Puketi Forest

Matariki for Families in Puketi Forest is back this year! Head to Puketi Forest for a great whanau Matariki experience! This event is free! Walk through the kauri forest and hear stories about Tane Mahuta and Matariki from our mangai (speaker).

Celebrate Matariki in the heart of Puketi Forest with an evening of guided forest night walks, campfires, marshmallows, sausage sizzle, Kauri VR experience and much more!

Connect with nature, reflect on the year gone by and experience the magic of the ngāhere.

Bring a torch, warm clothing and sturdy shoes.
