The concept of Te Puna Wai Tours was born out of the deep desire to share our fascinating local history and proud legacy with visitors to the region, as well as locals who are keen to explore the cultural and historical wonders of their own “backyard”.

We realised that nobody was sharing the narrative of our precious shared past. Te Puna Wai Tours was created as a way to showcase the unique perspective and compelling background of Maaori whaanau of the Waikato region.

Enjoy traditional Maaori Activities – fun for the whole family

Informative, educational, enlightening, inspirational and thoroughly entertaining – a great day out and fun activity for the whole family.
