Maori Cultural Performance

Welcome

Nau Mai Haere Mai

See the largest and most valuable collection of Maori taonga (treasures) in the world at Auckland Museum.  Only one Auckland Venue provides daily Maori cultural performances - the internationally acclaimed Auckland Museum.

Our Maori Cultural performance is recognised as being one of the leading Maori cultural experiences in New Zealand.  Our performers are the face of Ngati Whatua O Orakei, the home tribe (Mana Whenua) of Auckland — (Tamaki Harenga Waka).

An unforgettable cultural experience

You will enjoy a warm, vibrant and entertaining glimpse of Maori culture culminating in a high-energy spine-tingling version of our most celebrated dance, the world famous haka. Your Maori cultural experience includes the opportunity to meet, talk and take photos with our very friendly performers.
