BUT with this covid there will be changes s may pay to call ahead and make inquiry's as to what's available. perceptivetravel.com (perceptivetravel.com %20in%20performing%20the%20haka.&text=Ko%20Tane.)

Imagine them doing it in English, how embarrassing. Anyway you can see these things on youtube too. Or just go to Rotorua and attend a maori function for tourists, plenty of dances, and possibly even that one. |

| 1472095 | 2020-10-07 07:43:00 | A haka at rugby will be a yawn when viewed from the spectator area. The TV will give you far better coverage. Agree that Rotorua would likely be your best option, and best yet if done indoors, on a wooden stage, where the flooring acts like a drum to amplify the power of the stomping. I've often wondered if there should be an area within International Arrivals where people can wander in for a dose of culture offered with each arriving plane... at least it would give folks one glimpse of the culture. It's all but invisible in normal day to day life here. |
