Footprints Waipoua Meet Tane is specifically for day tour groups with a minimum of five people and is designed to make the trip into the forest a more memorable and educational experience. The group will meet one of the local guides at the Tane Mahuta car park in the Waipoua forest for an interactive interpretation of the importance of this tree, Tane Mahuta ('The Lord of the Forest'), and the natural environment, to the Maori people. The tour duration is 40 minutes long. Prior arrangement for this option including a meeting time must be made with the Footprints Waipoua office.
