Great introduction to Maori culture
Acknowledging this is a commodification of Maori culture, it was a super nice and recommendable experience to take relatives coming from overseas for a short Aotearoa trip. Considering how limited our times were, this was just the right stuff to experience a flair of what Maori culture has to offer. I'm overall very happy.

Good but could be better
I really liked the performance what I didn’t like was the way that my family were treated while we were walking in the village, years ago we could have a a little walk through the village, but now just who got a guide can walk everywhere with the guide or not… we could not get the guide as I have a toddler that can’t stay longer waiting but I was very keen to show him very briefly the pools but this time they are much more capitalist so we couldn’t show to him anything and had to go out, I was keen to pay for more time … but the security treatment wasn’t nice and it made our experience not good. But yes, th performance was super cool and with it.

Bon spectacle
J'ai beaucoup apprécie les chants et danses. Dommage que je n'ai pu comprendre les explications en anglais n'étant pas bilingue. Spectacle peut-être un peu court, les 30 min passent vite
