Indispensable to discover and understand the Maori culture, even if is now becoming a business.
Show was very realistic and nice to see. We recommend going in low season when less people are there. Great typical Maori dinner and walk through the forest and glowworms.

The Maori people gave us a great show and very good food!
They were enthusiastic and funny! Only in my opinion, it was very touristic and very expensive for what we have got.

I did this to get more information about Maori and there it is not so good.
It is very interesting to learn about their singing and dancing and the people doing it are very funny and lovely. Also the food tastes great. If you are looking for good food and entertainment go for it. But I heard that there is a better place on the West Coast of the South Island.

Nice cultural performance and great hangi.
Rating could be higher if it were not for the cheesy saxophone player during dinner. Good explanation of Maori culture and not too busy.

Just six points because our host was lame.
The show is nice although I like this more than the one in Te Puia. The hangi was good and there were a lot of glowworms at the sacred spring (best part of the spring).

Good = nice/funny speaker, haka dance was a good performance, food was ok.

It was serviced well.
The Maori show was nice to experience and the food: traditional 'hangi' was absolutely delicious! We did the combo with Rainbow Springs park, because we wanted to see the kiwi. We saw 4 kiwi's from close up and the Tuatara. This was very special and fun.

Awesome activities, a bit expensive, but really fun and worth it.
Interesting Maori town with great food, a nice show, even though it is a bit too 'touristland'.....

It was great to see how Hangi kai is made (and how good it tastes!).
But good food did not balance out the very weak show and tell items. Pointless walks and half-hearted show.

Drinks very expensive.
Good varied entertainment if not a bit confusing as the agenda not set at the start. Would like to have seen some real Maori. Got a good flavour of what Maori history is about.

Although massive (a lot of people/guests) the Maori did their best and made the best of it.
It was interesting. The singing in the end should be skipped.
