It was a really nice way of learning and connecting with the moari culture. Our guide was really clear and passionate in her way of leading us trough the village.

Great experience

There are many different thermal experiences you can do in the area and I'm sure all of them are good. This one is owned and operated by the Maori who own the land and have been guiding visitors through their valley for generations. Some of the other local attractions are on land seized by the government for tourism development.

Learn, engage and appreciate this rich history

Absolutley loved my experience, our tour guide nickname Wawi was a wealth of knowledge and had an epic way of storytelling! He had a great maturity and realatability to everyone in our group which were from all walks and Countries, highly recommend this guided tour and although we didn't do the performances we could hear the beautiful waiata which would be well worth the visit! A great way to learn the rich history of our Māori people and surroundings

Who can spell Whakarewarewa?

An amazing insight into life in a Maori village that lives daily with the prospect of sudden thermal activity.
