All Blacks Experience: Price per person: £49
Curious about what makes Aotearoa New Zealand feel so different when you’re there? The All Blacks Experience isn’t just about rugby — it’s a way into something much deeper, shaped over more than a century.
At the All Blacks Experience, you can:
• Explore Māori heritage – discover the traditions, stories and values that shape New Zealand’s teams in black, and the pride that brings them together.
• Feel the power of the haka – stand right in the heart of a live, multisensory haka performance — the kind that stays with you long after it ends.
• Test your rugby skills – step onto the interactive training field and see how your passing, kicking and reactions compare.
• Hear the stories behind the teams – go beyond the match itself, with insights into the discipline, unity and identity of the All Blacks and Black Ferns.
In New Zealand, rugby isn’t something that sits on the sidelines. It brings people together, shapes communities and reflects values held close – humility, teamwork and respect.
