The Tu Tika Tour - A Māori Cultural Connection in Whangārei

Discover Māori culture through a heartfelt, personal journey with Rangimarie, a local Māori woman born and raised in Whangārei. In this intimate 1.5 hour experience, you’ll be welcomed like whānau (family), learn the customs and traditions that shaped her life, and feel the deep cultural and spiritual connection to Ōtuihau Whangārei Falls. Enjoy hands on flax weaving, learn a fun Māori waiata to help with pronunciation, and hear stories that bring Te Ao Māori to life. With small groups, warm hosting, and genuine connection, this tour is more than an activity, it’s a meaningful encounter with Māori culture shared with humour, heart, and authenticity. If you are seeking real culture, real people, and real connection, you just found it.
