Authentic Māori Cultural Tours in Bluff, Southland, NZ.

A high-end Māori cultural tour experience woven through whakapapa (genealogy), landscape, and manaakitanga (hospitality/care).

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.

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.
