Beautiful performance and was lovely to experience their culture and games. Really enjoyed their singing!
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.
