    Great to learn about the life and history of the village and the people. To see how they used the natural hot springs to live their lives was very interesting.

  • Very cool tour!

    This was a very cool cultural experience! Seeing the geothermal pools and learning about the Māori people was very cool. We heard traditional singing and chants but could not see it. Apparently there are shows daily at 11,12,&1 but it might cost extra to see that. That is the only part I wish I could have added.

  • It's a living village,...

    It's a living village, with a tour lead by a Maori guide. Ours was knowledgeable and proud of his heritage. The tour is led at pace, but there is time afterwards to explore at leisure. I would recommend keeping up with the guide and then going back to see things in more detail afterwards

    We were a bit time poor otherwise we would have loved to have done one of the longer tours. Our guide was quite young but so passionate. Kept everyone's attention for the whole tour.

    Great tour of the village; note that if you go for the 3pm tour, the shop will be closed by the time you are done, so get anything you'd like ahead of your tour.
