Discover the Wonder of Maori Rock Art
Product:
Te Ana Māori Rock Art Tour – experience the world of Māori Rock Art
Information:
Tour begins at Te Ana Maori Rock Art Centre in Timaru. The Centre holds the most significant collection of Maori rock drawings in the world and serves as the entranceway to the world of Ngai Tahu, the Maori tribe of Te Waipounamu (the South Island). Here our Ngai 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 Opihi, where you will discover Maori 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 Ngai Tahu identity today. This tour is flexible and can be structured to meet the needs of visitors (see Options below).
