Māori Experience and lunch - The Māori’s were very welcoming and wanting to share their culture with us. We had a welcoming talk and a little history of the NZ Maori’s. Then went on a short walk down to the bubbling natural spa where a Māori boat with warriors came down and chanted. Back up to an area where entertainment was put on with explanations and singing. Back to the initial dining area for a spectacular Māori lunch, this was very delicious, lamb, chicken, sweet potatoes, salad & veg. Followed by desserts. After lunch shown a typical Māori huts of times past. A very worthwhile experience.

Well organised tour, scrumptous lunch in a beautiful setting - Loved it. The initial meet was in a hall next to the car park where we were given an introduction. Then we had a short walk down to the river and later to a performance hall: my mother who uses a walking stick was able to navigate this. Then back to the first hall for lunch. It was well organised, the village setting and river were beautiful. There was ample food at lunch, a hangi treat. Probably the best meal I had in New Zealand. Highly recommended
