Who can spell Whakarewarewa?

An amazing insight into life in a Maori village that lives daily with the prospect of sudden thermal activity.

Very interesting

Very interesting site and history, would absolutely recommend visiting the place just our guide (unfortunately don't remember her name) was lacking a little enthusiasm, she sounded a bit bored, hardly any emotion and as she was wearing sunglasses throughout the entire time even for the greeting it was a bit difficult to follow. Though in saying that I would still definitely recommend visiting 100% just hope you get a different guidešŸ‘

Fascinating, authentic tour

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour which provided w glimpse into the village and tribeā€™s way of life, honoring and living with the fragility of their existence on the land that keeps shifting. The guideā€™s stories about her childhood in the village were particularly lovely. At the end we got to see the geisers which was a nice surprise. Highly recommended tour.
