A village with smoke billowing out from the ground at various places which we can view through bridges and platforms. A village setup with some eateries and well maintained geo-thermal trails. The highlight was the Maori dance which was a high-energy, action-filled dance with some traditional war dances well explained by the anchor. The steaming pools and the trails are also a worthy attraction. This is a must-visit place in Rotorua.
Amazing experience, beautiful cultural show with singing and dancing. Very lovely people and really fun to explore the geothermal features. Highly recommend
This is a must experience show. Absolutely loved the performance and felt amazed by culture. Would recommend it to everyone.
I really liked the performance what I didn’t like was the way that my family were treated while we were walking in the village, years ago we could have a a little walk through the village, but now just who got a guide can walk everywhere with the guide or not… we could not get the guide as I have a toddler that can’t stay longer waiting but I was very keen to show him very briefly the pools but this time they are much more capitalist so we couldn’t show to him anything and had to go out, I was keen to pay for more time … but the security treatment wasn’t nice and it made our experience not good. But yes, th performance was super cool and with it.
