Great experience!!! - We had a fantastic evening at the maori village. It was interesting learning about their unique culture and felt like we're in the middle of a rain forest surrounded by ancient tribes. The food was varied and super delicious. Great value.

Must see! - Very enjoyable evening where you felt welcomed and a universal feeling of togetherness. Staring with the host and continuing on to the performers, you were taught about the culture and totally entertained by the demonstration and singing. Food was excellent. Great experience!

Great evening - The show, the glow worms and river walk were all wonderful. If you have an elderly person in the group avoid the walk to see the old village as the hillside is unstable and I saw a couple older people slip and fall.

Mow lighting, please. - The dinner was very good. The dancing/singing performances were good too. The walking in the dak around the village was unsafe and frightening. The staff was helpful.

Timing affects the experience. - Everything in the ad says 6:30. We were waiting by 6:05 for the pick-up that was supposed to come for transportation to the event. They came a little after 5:45, so we missed it, and the request for a refund was rejected.
