Discover the sights and stories of New Zealand's wild West Coast. Immersive, inspiring and truly unforgettable – the Pounamu Pathway will guide you along the length of the West Coast, a place anchored by the stories of a treasured local gemstone. Māwhera Pā is the ancestral home of Poutini Ngāi Tahu (people of the West coast). Journey through the stories of the people of Poutini Ngāi Tahu and the Māwhera Pā (settlement). Encounter ancestral legends, like Tūhuru the Warrior Chief and Tuterangiwhānoa, who carved these great landscapes. Listen as the stories of giants and fearless warriors unfold around you, and experience tales of conquest, travel, conflict and kinship through the trade of Pounamu. With our creative partner, Wētā Workshop, we bring cultural experiences to life through digital and immersive technology that is fun, surprising, creative, and utterly unique to the West Coast/Te Tai o Poutini.
