Tauranga is the largest city in the Bay of Plenty
which is one of the fastest growing population
centers of New Zealand. The marine adventures in
this beautiful sunny city are the real temptation
that attracts tourists over here. Along with that
one can find a Maori culture which is a vital
part of the life of a Kiwi and adds a unique,
vibrant experience for visitors. Tauranga is
also known as the beach capital of New Zealand
due to the captivating beaches out there.
Tauranga is also one of the main centers for
business, international trade, culture, fashion,
and horticulture science. The most attracting
factor that makes Tauranga a visitors favorite
place, especially during summers is the marine
adventures like sailing, fishing and dolphin
watching. Also, the stunning coastal environment
gives an eye-pleasing as well as soul-satisfying
experience. Tauranga Cultures One can find the
combination of the exceptional nature of New
Zealand with an authentic Maori Marae and
cultural experience which also includes a Hangi
which is the traditional steam cooked
food. Maori are the native people of New Zealand
who came here more than 1000 years ago from their
mythological Polynesian motherland of Hawaiki.
Around 14 of total populations are Maori and
their history, language, and traditions have
become an identity of New Zealand.

Things to do in the Private Cultural Tours in
Tauranga Visiting Marae One can explore the true
culture of Maori by visiting Marae which are the
tribal meeting grounds with the help of private
cultural tours in Tauranga. Here you will get to
hear Maori speeches and singing, notice carved
meeting houses, get together with the local
people who will greet you in their traditional
way i.e. pressing of the noses and enjoy hangi
which is cooked in earthy ovens. Exploring
Performing Arts There is a wide variety of
performing arts that can be found here in
Tauranga. Performing arts here include melodious
singing, rhythmic dancing, and ferocious Maori
war dances also known as haka which are a must
to see for any visitor.  Take pleasure in
traditional art forms Traditional arts like
carving, weaving, and tattooing are also alive in
New Zealand. Precious jewelry and conventional
weapons can be found in museums, galleries and
artists workshops all over the country. If you
catch a carving or weaving display, you will find
that most of the techniques are untouched since
ancient periods.  Stories of Maori Culture It is
believed that New Zealands creation is described
by the legend of Maui who is believed to be a
demi-God who fished up the North Island using his
magic hook. If you have a keen interest in
understanding and experiencing the history and
culture of New Zealand then there are plenty of
places where you can get to know Maori legends
which will keep you captivated for sure. If you
are someone who loves to explore various cultures
and traditions then add a tour to the cultural
city Tauranga of New Zealand at the top in your
upcoming cultural tours. For a better
understanding of the culture and tradition, you
can also book private cultural tours packages in
