Across our whānau of experiences, te reo Māori helps bring the stories, places and people of Aotearoa to life.

At Dark Sky Project, it is woven naturally into the way their guides welcome manuhiri and share the night sky.

For Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, the team are sharing a few of the kupu you may hear during an experience:

📖 Kupu — word
👋 Kia ora — hello, thank you, and well wishes
🌟 Tautimai — welcome
🙏 Karakia — prayer or blessing
✨ Whetū — star

He kupu hou mō tēnei wiki — a few words to carry with you this Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

A special honour for our team at the All Blacks Experience.

Sixteen years after it was first used by the Black Ferns, the taiaha named Hiahia has found a new home at our All Blacks Experience in Tāmaki Makaurau, where it will welcome manuhiri from across Aotearoa and around the world.

We’re incredibly proud that one of our Ngāi Tahu Tourism experiences has been entrusted with Hiahia and the responsibility of helping share its story and significance with future generations.

As a new taiaha is carved to protect and accompany the Black Ferns into their next chapter, it is a privilege for the All Blacks Experience to become part of Hiahia’s continuing story.

The Hollyford Valley is a place shaped by movement, connection and generations of history.

Long before visitors explored this landscape, Māori journeyed through the valley between the mountains and the coast, travelling important routes and collecting pounamu along the way.

Today, Hollyford Wilderness Experience guides share these stories with manuhiri, offering a deeper understanding of the people, culture and history woven into this extraordinary part of Aotearoa.
