Culture & Heritage

Be inspired by the Aboriginal people’s deep relationships with the great southern continent of Australia traced back through millenia and celebrate New Zealand’s richly engaging Maori culture through conversations and revelations.  The indigenous cultures of these two countries are incredibly distinct from one another and each is fascinating, rich and runs deeply through the veins of our modern day culture.  Indigenous experiences with Latitude South are not exploitative ‘performances’, rather, they are about conversations with knowledgeable, passionate tribal leaders who understand and celebrate the beauty of knowledge sharing and connection through personal, deeply rewarding encounters.
