Whenua Iti (Maori Pa) Tour

Karitāne Māori Tours is located on the beautiful east coast of New Zealand's South Island, only a 30-minute drive from Otago's largest city, Dunedin.

Our tours are owned and operated by Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki, the local Maori iwi (people) of the area who wanted to share their passion for waka (canoes) and cultural practices with people from all over the world.

Karitāne Māori Tours is proud to involve visitors in the restoration of our natural environment. 
Our waka tours take our visitors to Ohinepouwera (the Split), where Kāti Huirapa has developed a 200-year planting plan, replacing exotic species with native plants. 
Our whenua tours explore the Huriawa peninsula, we walk the site of the historic Pā Te Wera sharing the stories that have been handed down over the centuries.
