We booked this specifically for our visitors from the UK and they really enjoyed it. Good having the history explained to help understanding with the haka, actions and poi. Nice to see them being inclusive of the little boy who is obviously training in the native performances as well.
Acknowledging this is a commodification of Maori culture, it was a super nice and recommendable experience to take relatives coming from overseas for a short Aotearoa trip. Considering how limited our times were, this was just the right stuff to experience a flair of what Maori culture has to offer. I'm overall very happy.
Very well organized, passionate performers, and lots of information about the culture with great entertainment.
Very enjoyable show

Bon spectacle
J'ai beaucoup apprécie les chants et danses. Dommage que je n'ai pu comprendre les explications en anglais n'étant pas bilingue. Spectacle peut-être un peu court, les 30 min passent vite
