Maurice leads a fantastic tour. We learned so much and had a lot of fun along the way. We learned a song in Maori, were given Maori names, learned to weave flowers from flax, and were taken to his home and welcomed by his wife who prepared some really nice snacks for us. Maurice's young grandson accompanied us on part... More

We can't say enough good things about Maurice and his Maori Tour in Kaikoura; this tour is a must-see for anyone looking to experience the native Maori culture on NZ's South Island! Maori Tours proved helpful and flexible from the first time we called, helping us schedule an appropriate day/time, describing what to expect, and even picking my wife and... More

We traveled as a family with two adults and two 9year old girls. Maurice and Helen did a fantastic job, showing us around Kaikoura. We learned that much about the history and Maori culture that day, we learned a song, got all new Maori names with different meaning (and wow, they fit our personalities), got some amazing afternoon tea at...

I have been to the South Island of NZ several times, as I have Family in Timaru. Going on "Tour" is normally far from my mind as I like to do my own thing. My partner Rose was however with me for her first Overseas trip and this Maori Tour was something she really wanted to do, so I agreed.... More

We had a small group (4) on this cold, windy, wet morning; but the hospitality of Maurice and Heather more than made up for the weather. Maurice shared customs, history, and religious/cultural aspects of the Maori people. It was an intimate, personal experience. We visited several sites meaningful to these people and their history. We were welcomed into their home... More

Maurice, Heather and Karen gave us a really special afternoon to remember. The small group meant a very personal experience, learning about Maori history, culture, and rituals as well as understanding today's culture and lifestyles. The afternoon tea was a wonderful surprise and much more than just refreshments. A contrast from the more touristy Maori expereinces availble elsewhere. A must... More

August is considered 'low season', however we mailed ahead and booked the Maori Tour a few days in advance. Even though we changed dates and times, our booking was handled with efficiency and humour by Heather. There were 3 in our party and we were joined by 2 others. The tours both the day before and day after were fully... More

A half day tour guided by Maurice that takes you to cultural venues including a home visit. Maurice gives an in depth understanding of the Maori history and customs. Not really suitable for children, but groups are kept small and intimate More

Fantastic tour run by very genuine people. The day was a highlight of our NZ trip. Heather was very helpful when booking and Morris and Karen were knowledgable and friendly. Not at all cheesy which was what I was hoping to avaoid. Great work guys. More
