Like being welcomed back to a long lost home.

Published on Feb, 2025

We had the most amazing and interesting time visiting Whakarewarewa. We saw the cultural performance by the incredible villagers and had a guided tour by one of them afterwards. The culture and history of this place is incredibly deep and fascinating and the people there are so keen to show us their way of life. They have such a deep connection to the natural world and an amazing sense of family and community, from sharing their naturally geothermal kitchens with each other and bathing in the clear waters of the hot water springs. They even made food for us to eat from the thermal kitchens themselves! There are volcanic Geysers that can be seen from the village too and they were all shooting high up into the sky, very much a sight to behold. The performance itself is great being interactive, I even got to go up in stage myself and participate in the traditional welcome to the village. They sang us songs and performed a Haka for us. The magic in these performances can only truly be felt by being there. A must do visit for anyone who wants to learn more about the Māori culture and about how their way of life has been shaped by the natural world. Thank you for sharing your village with us!

A good experience for anyone wishing to have some basic understanding of Māori traditional culture. The team gave a great performance- it would be good to get to know them more.

Amazing performance

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing performance with lots of energy and bustling with great enthusiasm. The team of performers were great and their energy was unmatched. Very captivating! However, the man at the reception who was in charge of tickets came across to be so rude and arrogant in his answers. Not at all a welcoming gesture! His words and responses were cold. We asked if we could get a map of the village tour- but instead of explaining that they would not provide a map as we didn’t book the tour, his actions and answers were so rude- he just simply shouted and said NO

A must see

Published on Jan, 2025

A must go to for anyone visiting NZ, I always bring anyone visiting me here. A true cultural heritage experience and the villagers are so friendly and proud to share their knowledge.

Enriching Performance
