Footprints of Kupe interactive centre

Manea: Footprints of Kupe is a 75-minute multisensory journey of guided storytelling – through art, taonga (cultural treasures), film, performance, digital interaction and the splendour of Hokianga’s natural surroundings. Visitor experience starts with a cultural greeting ceremony, the pōwhiri. From there you are escorted into the Manea theatre, where a 20-minute 4D-digital extravaganza and live performance immerses you in a full sensory recreation of the rich and vibrant world of the intrepid adventures of Kupe, East Polynesian navigator and adventurer. There is plenty of time to explore exhibits and sculptures at your own pace afterwards.
