Not fair interpretation of history

1.00Very one sided. All I got is that colonialists took over a bunch of primitive fighters and civilized them against their wishes. There is no explanation about how this country became one of the best.
Great Day at Waitangi Treaty grounds

Must Do Cultural Experience - Great Food, Tour, Museums, Live Performances
Michael M,,Jan 8, 2026

5.00Fantastic cultural experience - You have the Hangi dinner (full of meats and vegetables and a nice dessert) along with a live performance. You get the option (same day or next day) of taking a group tour, seeing another live performance, and access to the museums to round it out. I opted to do everything the same day and it turned into an amazing afternoon/evening full of culture and learning and great food and spending time meeting fellow travelers at the dinner table. Note - you can walk to the Treaty grounds from main town Paihia (i.e., near the wharf) if you give yourself 30 minutes at a reasonable pace. It's a beautiful walk along the water on sidewalks so you can enjoy the beautiful view while you walk to/from the venue.

4.00We liked learning about some of the Māori people and experiencing some of the tribal ways. And we liked that you could come back over a few days to do your experience.

5.00We did the full package including a dinner. It was fantastic!!! The food was absolutely delicious. The performance was amazing the performers made you feel as though you were taken back in time to their ancestral homeland. The atmosphere was very authentic. The museums were on point and gave you a conceptual sense to the struggles of the people.
Insightful and entertaining treaty house visit!

5.00Our visit to the treaty house was very enjoyable. Our guide, CeCe was highly knowledgeable! Ine thing to note- If you are doing the dinner later in the day there is also a show so you don’t need to attend an earlier show- especially is you are limited on time. The shows are different but you learn the same cultural information for the most part. The dinner and show are both awesome. The performers are very talented!
