Very Informative

Our guide was great. With this 1 hour tour you just walk through the communal part of the village and look at the geysers from a distance. Up close at the hot pools and the cooking and bathing areas. Lots of information and your ticket gets you all day access, you can go and come back if you have other tours booked but didn'tget to see the geysers go off,, but you are restricted from up close to the geysers. Great value if booked throught bookme with a discount. Good in the rain but bring an umbrella.

It was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour, the guide, the whole experience of seeing how people lived in the village and understanding their daily lives was so wonderfully explained and showcased.

Rude guide

Nice to see and experience geothermal activities but the same cant be said about the lady guid we had how was quite rude and so full of her self and her culture which frankly we were not too interested in, will never be going back or taking any of my visitors there again.

Loved it

Great activity. Tour guide had so much knowledge of the local area and its history. The show was awesome and the part where they sang Pokarekare Ana was so beautiful it moved me to tears. I’ve heard this song my whole life but never knew the history and the meaning until our visit. And the performers were incredible. We also did the self tour after the guided tour and wow so much geo thermal activity. But what I remember from what the guide said, “they live in such a way to coexist with the land not to rape and pillage from it”. Loved the experience!
