He Tangata Maori Experience

We had an enjoyable morning at the Maori Experience. This is a great way to get an understanding of the Maori heritage and culture. The singing & dancing performances were very well done. We have used the bookme site for a number of trips throughout NZ and found the discounts to be real & all of our bookings have gone gone smoothly. Highly recommend.
