Good trip but watch which ticket you buy

Good experience with the Maori show & self guided tour around the village & hot pools. What they don’t advise though is that some areas you can’t go unless with a guide so self guided you can’t get to see the geysers.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback, Alison! We're glad you enjoyed the Maori show and your tour of the village and hot pools. We appreciate your input regarding the guided areas and will ensure this information is communicated more clearly. Your experience helps us improve for future visitors!

Light hearted but could be more substantial

The cultural performance had some light hearted moments but I would have prefered to have had a powhiri to welcome us on to the grounds before the performance started.
