Mandela, lead storyteller for Xplorer Maps and host of "The Trail Less Traveled," will guide you through the ecology, history, and cultural lore of Aotearoa, "The Land of the Long White Cloud."
With years of experience as a sea kayak guide and interviews with Māori elders, Mandela will take you back 80 million years to when Zealandia separated from Gondwanaland. Learn how birds, insects, and reptiles thrived in a world without mammals. Plus, enjoy the sounds of the didjeridu for a truly engaging evening.
