Giving our history a voice
and our culture a future
Te Ihu o Mataoho Tours is a Te Ahiwaru-led social enterprise re-establishing and strengthening the connection we as ahi kaa have with our whenua, while sharing aspects of our rich and intimate history with visitors to Ihumaatao.
Using Indigenous creativity, storytelling and experiential design, we offer a host of unique experiences for all ages and abilities. Through interactive and engaging educational tours and workshops our offering aligns to the Aotearoa curriculum while also encouraging communities to better understand our unique and endemic landscapes.
Te Ihu o Mataoho champions regenerative practice and enriches your connection to people, land and sea.
Nestled alongside the Ihumaatao papakaainga, with the Manukau Harbour and Ooruarangi awa at its foreshore, its hard to believe this archaeologically renowned region is only a 5 minute drive from both the South Western Motorway and the Auckland International Airport.
