Authentic Māori Cultural Tours in Bluff, Southland, NZ.
Murihiku Māori Tours isn’t tourism as performance — it’s indigenisation in practice. Our knowledge, relationships, and storytelling are at the heart of the journey.
Guided by Keri Milne-Ihimaera and David Ihimaera, this small, bespoke tour is shaped by our whānau stories and our deep connection to this land.
A high-end Māori cultural experience woven through whakapapa (genealogy), landscape, and manaakitanga (hospitality/care).
the Stories
the history
why travel with us?
Mana whenua-led — stories grounded in our whānau (family) connection to Awarua.
Small-group — intimate, personalised experiences.
High-end — luxury transport, curated routes, seasonal whānau-prepared kai (food).
Authentic Māori values — experience karakia (ritual opening/closing), manaakitanga (hospitality), and whenua-based learning in a natural, respectful way.
No tokenism — no costumes, no performances, no staged culture. Just Māori hosts, Māori stories, Māori hospitality.
