Te Ana Māori Rock Art Tour – experience the world of Māori Rock Art

Information:

Tour begins at Te Ana Māori Rock Art Centre in Timaru. The Centre holds the most significant collection of Māori rock drawings in the world and serves as the entranceway to the world of Ngāi Tahu, the Māori tribe of Te Waipounamu (the South Island). Here our Ngāi Tahu guides will share stories of their ancestors and show you the way they lived, practices still followed today. Continue your journey to the iconic rock art sites at Ōpihi, where you will discover Māori rock art where it was drawn and gather a deeper understanding of the people, how they lived and why their legacy is such a cherished part of Ngāi Tahu identity today.
