OUR ATTRACTION

​Welcome To Te Hikoi

Te Hikoi Southern Journey, is the South's ultimate heritage attraction, just 25 minutes from Invercargill on the Southern Scenic Route.

The museum features authentic life size displays, adventurous characters and engaging stories. These reveal how our Maori and European ancestors adapted to survive on nature's edge.  An experience not to be missed. 

​Most visitors spend about 40 minutes in our museum, but some spend half a day! We also have a retail area and information centre for you to plan your next stops.
 
Te Hikoi is accessible for all disabilities, if you want to discuss your requirements, please contact us.
