Fabulous to see the cultural performance and the exquisite natural environment. The hot pools and mud pools were an absolute fascination and incredible experience.

Great place, we thought the guide John was the best guide we have had in New Zealand the village in well worth visiting

The show is average. Not too special. We feel boarded little bit. Maybe we have a little knowledge to understand.

A good experience for anyone wishing to have some basic understanding of Māori traditional culture. The team gave a great performance- it would be good to get to know them more.

A very nice presentation, from the people who really live in this Maori village. You will also find nice shops.

The description does not match the experience!
We didn’t have access to Māori village with this reservation but only to the cultural dance! Beware the description indicating an “exploration of the village after the performance” is false!
We were very disappointed. Bad attitude of some dancers, including one who arrived with a delay of 10min! On a show of 30 it is not professional.
Scam

Wer ein Maori- Dorf sehen möchte, ist hier richtig. Sonst besser gleich zum Te Puia Park fahren für Show, Schnitzereien, Webtechnik und Stonecarving.
