About Day Pass including Guided Tour and Cultural Performance
Immerse yourself in New Zealand's most significant historical site at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where past and present converge on the shores of the Bay of Islands. This all-inclusive day pass grants you two days of exploration, featuring an expert guided tour, the stunning new Museum of Waitangi, and an interactive cultural performance that brings Maori traditions to life.
Local Legends & Stories
The Treaty of Waitangi, signed here in 1840 between British Crown representatives and over 500 Maori chiefs, remains New Zealand's founding document and a living symbol of partnership. The grounds themselves hold spiritual significance as a marae where generations have gathered to honor ancestral traditions and negotiate the future of Aotearoa.
