Gute Darbietung
Wir haben uns gut unterhalten gefühlt. Die Gruppe wirkte etwas unkonzentriert, und nicht ganz so professionell aber charmant.

Great experience
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.

Great introduction to Maori culture
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.

Living Maori Village war interessant, aber nicht spektakulär! Unbedingt auch die Thermalquellen ansehen.
