    The tour was absolutely amazing! Mary was so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, and she made the experience even more special. Our whole family had such a great time visiting the Māori village and Te Puia. It was a fantastic opportunity to gain a better understanding of Māori history and culture, and everything was explained in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. The experience was both educational and fun for all ages, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

He shared stories and insights that made the experience so interesting, we found ourselves wanting to learn even more. It was informative, fun, and unforgettable. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate — you won’t regret it!

    Brilliant experience and so lovely to learn about the geysers history and the Maori culture. Pohutu geyser was a sight to see. The kiwi enclosure was also a top scene for us.A great learning experience for my 3 teens who really enjoyed the experience. Te puia is surely a must visit place when in rotorua. beautiful singing and guitar playing at the end of the tour by Tamati the awesome tour guide. We will be back 🙂
