A must see!

We absolutely enjoyed the performance! From my youngest son of 7 to the grandparents. The performers are excellent, their singing gives you goose bumps. Well worth going to it!

Wonderful!

So excited to see a Maori concert at a reasonable price yet the performance was top notch! Everyone looked like they enjoyed doing it and put in 100+%. Will recommend it to everyone! Many thanks!

Authenticity

It is advertised as an "authentic living maori village" but the show was just a show. The performers might be of maori descent but they live normally. The whole experience lacked context and culture and history explanation.
