"When I visited New Zealand, one of my favourite experiences was joining in a traditional hāngī feast with a Māori tribe. The food is cooked in an earth oven, giving it an incredible smoky aroma and tender texture. It was an amazing chance to participate in what is a celebration of culture, connection, and centuries of tradition. If you're wondering what to do in New Zealand, immersing yourself in the rich Māori culture is a must."

For something really unique, head down into the Kawiti Caves where you'll witness thousands of glow worms illuminating a network of underground chambers, while your guide shares insights into this natural phenomenon.”
