Willowbank Dinner and Maori Concert from Christchurch
Your tour will commence with a courtesy pickup from your Christchurch accommodation and following a short transfer, you will arrive at the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. Here you?ll join a guided Kiwi wildlife tour with a knowledgeable and passionate park warden. Enjoy an up-close encounter with many native and introduced birds and animals while you listen to interesting facts and stories. See New Zealand?s national bird ? the kiwis ? in their natural habitat. This endangered species is unique to New Zealand!
Next, enjoy a magical experience as you engage with authentic Maori culture. Your memorable evening will see you participating in a series of events that recreate the traditional Maori lifestyle. From the opening Powhiri (or greeting ceremony) to the closing Waiata (songs) you will feel inspired and entertained while admiring a fantastic dance performance and learning how this ancient population lived across centuries. And what better way to conclude your night than with a traditional 4-course Hangi meal at the Willowbank restaurant?
Upon your return to the city, you will be given a guided tour of Christchurch at night before being returned to your accommodation.
