What you can expect

  • Meet your guide and begin your journey in the footsteps of Kupe. Engage in stories about our ancestors and the ancient realms of Kupe, told through carvings and the surrounding land. On arrival to our whare, Ngā Tapuwae o Kupe, our
    people welcome you with the timeless cultural ceremony of mihi whakatau. You now enter the Manea theatre, where a 20-minute 4D-digital extravaganza and live performance immerses you in a full sensory recreation of the rich and vibrant
    world of the intrepid adventures of Kupe. From the theatre, your guide will lead you outside to absorb the full significance of the Hokianga harbour and our storey. This was not only where Kupe made his home, but also his final departure point from this land. You can now continue your journey of discovery at your leisure in the Footprints of Kupe Interactive Gallery, where digital stations reveal more details of our ancestor’s storey.
