MAURI MAUNGA TONGARIRO RETREATS
Join a unique journey into the soul of Tongariro.
Retreat Details
Mauri Maunga Tongariro Retreat is a private three-night, four-day experience for up to 10 manuhiri. Designed to give you time and space to experience Tongariro at a deeper pace. Across four days, the retreat brings together shared experiences, time on the whenua, nourishing kai, cultural activities and moments to connect with the whenua, the kōrero and the experience.
Three retreat dates are available for our 2026 spring/summer launch.
Puia, Rongoā & Mirimiri - Restoration
Connect with the warmth and healing traditions of the whenua through geothermal waters, rongoā Māori (native plant medicine) and the restorative practice of mirimiri (massage) using hot volcanic stones. These experiences offer space to reconnect, restore and honour the relationship between whenua, body and wairua.
(**Mirimiri charged seperately)
Tongariro Journey
For those choosing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Mauri Maunga provides transport to and from the crossing, along with support to help you prepare and enjoy the experience.
Healing connection in nature
Spend time experiencing the whenua of Tongariro, with space to connect, explore and be present within this remarkable landscape.
Cultural Experiences
Take part in meaningful cultural activities and shared experiences that invite you to connect with the whenua, kōrero and the living spirit of Tongariro.
Kai & Mahinga Kai — Nourishment & Kai Gathering
All meals are included throughout your retreat, with nourishing kai shared as part of the experience and prepared with care for our manuhiri. Where appropriate to the season and conditions, you may also be welcomed to participate in mahinga kai — gathering kai from the whenua and wai, and sharing in its preparation.
Whare Noho - Accomodation
Comfortable self-contained accommodation is provided for the duration of your stay, giving you a welcoming base from which to experience Tongariro and the surrounding whenua.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully allocated across our accommodation units according to the makeup of each retreat group. Some arrangements include separate sleeping areas within shared units, while others provide a private king unit.
