Best cultural performance

The people were very accommodating with the group of people we went with. Very nice performance and information on the Māori culture. They were really nice to invite us on the stage and take a picture with them

A spectacular experience

Having done the village tour we thought that the cultural show was not to be missed. Although a short performance it was informative, funny in parts and wonderful to watch. I would definitely recommend taking in the show.

Wish it was longer!

Those were my niece's words when the show ended. The performers' facial expressions gave the experience of watching a musical. Bravo!
