Twilight Encounter
Footprints Waipoua offer a fascinating insight into the world of the Waipoua Forest. Local Maori guides will take you on a journey which will enable you to experience the affinity that early Maori had with the forest and the deep spiritual respect they hold for the giants still growing there. Learn of the rich bird life and other fauna that inhabits the forest and witness the transitions of life as the day turns into night. Listen to fascinating stories and legends of the forest, of its gods, and other spiritual inhabitants and be mesmerised as your guides greet the giant trees with spine-tingling waiata (sacred chants).
