Step 1

The best way to understand the ancient Polynesian culture is to visit a marae, Today, most marae are just piles of stones, but before the arrival of Europeans in the 18th century, they were the center for social, political and religious activity-including human sacrifice. Our tour guide will take you around this sacred place
