点评:Our whānau had the privilege of experiencing the Maunga Hikurangi sunrise tour and it was something we will remember for a long time.
From the very beginning, Monty made us feel welcome and ensured everything was organised smoothly. The early 5:15am start was well worth it. Standing on the maunga in the darkness, watching the colours of dawn appear before sunrise, was a truly special moment.
Even though it was a very cold morning and Tawhirimatea made his presence known, the atmosphere, the views, and the significance of being in that place made it unforgettable.
The kōrero shared by Monty about Māui-Tikitiki-a-Taranga, the carvings, and Ngāti Porou history added so much depth to the experience. It wasn’t just a sightseeing trip - it was an opportunity to connect with the stories, culture, and mana of the place.
We really appreciated the care taken with our whānau, the time given to answer questions, and the photos and information shared afterwards so we could continue reflecting on the experience.
A huge ngā mihi to Monty and the Maunga Hikurangi team for creating such a meaningful experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the East Coast - especially whānau wanting to connect with this special place.
Ngā mihi nui - a memory we will treasure.
翻译:我们一家人很幸运能够参加马乌卡·希库朗伊的日出之旅,这一经历我们将长久铭记在心。
从一开始,蒙蒂就让我们感到宾至如归,并确保一切安排井然有序。凌晨5点15分的出发时刻绝对物有所值。在黑暗中站在山顶上,目睹黎明的色彩在日出前逐渐显现,真是无比珍贵的时刻。
尽管那天早晨极其寒冷,塔惠里马泰阿的风也呼啸不停,但整个氛围……那里的景色,以及身处那个地方的独特意义,都令这段经历终生难忘。
蒙蒂讲述的关于毛伊-蒂基蒂基-阿-塔朗加的故事、那些雕刻品以及恩加蒂·波罗乌族的历史,极大地丰富了我们的体验。这不仅仅是一趟观光之旅——更是一个深入领略当地故事、文化及其精神内涵的良机。
我们非常感激他们对我们一家人的悉心照顾,也感谢他们花时间解答我们的各种疑问。感谢之后分享的照片与信息,让我们能够继续回味这次经历。
非常感谢蒙蒂以及Maunga Hikurangi团队打造了如此有意义的体验。我们强烈推荐这条旅游路线给所有造访东海岸的游客——尤其是那些希望与这片特别之地建立情感联结的家庭。
衷心感谢——这将是我们永远珍视的美好回忆。
