Maara Kai

Back to Experiences

Our Maara Kai provides visitors with an insight to the communal living and natural sustainability of our Tüpuna (ancestors).

This has also provided Whakarewarewa Thermal Village Tours with the opportunity to recreate and demonstrate its business capability in becoming sustainable, following in the footsteps of our Tüpuna. Through the summer we will plant Kanga (sweet corn) wherby visitors can pick and then cook in Parekohuru, our mineral pool.

The vegetables planted in our Maara Kai are also there for the local village community for celebrations and funerals held at the Marae.
