How does Mitai compare with Te Pā Tū?


In Mitai Maori Village

Mitai combines a waka taua arrival, cultural performance, hāngī buffet, sacred spring and glowworm walk in an approximately three-hour evening. The Te Pā Tū Māori Cultural Experience offers a different forest-based programme centred on seasonal Māori traditions, storytelling, performance and Māori-inspired dining. Both provide immersive introductions to Māori culture in Rotorua.
