Matai Tour with Pure Discoveries

Join a small group adventure focused exclusively on New Zealand’s spectacular South Island highlights! 
Matai, the name explained: Matai trees are renowned for high yields of clear straight-grained heartwood. Where Totara was not common, the Māori used the wood of Matai for carving. The female Matai also bears fruit, which was collected in large quantities by Māori in summer and early autumn.
