Absolutely worth it! - This experience is worth every penny. It is such beautiful, respectful, and fun representation and look into the culture and history of New Zealand. The food was also incredibly delicious. The walking portion is not too difficult and the everyone involved is so talented. Check it out if you are in Rotorua!

A great cultural experience - The whole experience was great, especially for the children. A good insight into the Māori culture. Plenty of yummy food, although we were packed in too tight to move when eating. The cultural walk was beautiful amongst lush rain forest, with the glow worms a bonus at the end of the evening. Definitely a must when visiting Rotorua.

Interesting and would do again - This was a nice introduction to the Maori. The show was fun. The explanations of the culture and traditions was very interesting. The hangi buffet was tasty. The glow worms were nice. We did this before going to Waitomo with spellbound. I still would say this was nice to see them along the river but nothing in comparison to the caves in waitomo. The blue spring pool is gorgeous. We enjoyed the evening.

Great foot and performances, but a schedule would help - This was a good, but not great, experience. One challenge was that they did not provide the schedule in advance, so we always felt like we were catching up to the plan. However, (almost) all of the experiences were great! The food was really amazing, the performances were beautiful, and there were glow worms! The one experience that wasn’t great was the Q&A, which felt like it dragged on and felt a little questionable.
