Kapa Haka, a traditional Māori art form

Our guests had the privilege of experiencing the powerful and traditional Māori haka, a source of immense pride for all New Zealanders. 🇳🇿 While 'haka' translates to 'dance,' it's far more than that—it's a powerful expression of culture, performed with chanting, stomping, hand movements, and intense facial gestures. #Azamara #MoreToSea | Azamara
