Cultural Village Tour
Cultural Village Tour
The Cultural Village Tour is an Interactive and educational Experience where you can immerse yourself in the powerful story of our Cook Islands Maori culture.
Learn about Cook Islands history, traditional medicines, ancestral navigational techniques, costumes, legends and more .....
Our Village Tour starts with a "Turou" welcome introduction call into our Village gates, where you will be escorted by our knowledgeable guide(s) ..
First visit is the "History Hut" which talks about ancient warrior weapons, cannibalism, missionaries, the seven canoe migration, traditional navigation techniques, legends, first governance and more.
Moving through our botanical gardens, the next visit is to the "Marae", a sacred place where High Chiefs of the village meet for ceremonies and any issues surrounding the village and its people.
This is followed by a visit of the "Witchdoctors Hut" where our traditional Maori medicines are revealed and explained. You then move to our beautifully decorated “Fishing Hut” which talks about the old fishing methods and ancestral fishing techniques and tools, pearls and local pearl farming with tattoo tools and demonstration.
Interactivity is a key theme to our tour and we invite you to participate in many of these activities, learning and experiencing the true Cook Islands way. Questions are welcomed, and experiences shared.
The Village Tour has arts and other aspects of Cook Islands Maori culture reflective of a proud race of Polynesians who will graciously share their culture and tradition with you
