Whakarewarewa Village Guided Tour

Posted By : cpb11
This was a great place to visit, where a Maori tribe lives and works. Our guide, Miriama, was very informative about how they live, and we found it all very interesting. We also attended a 1/2 hour show, with singing and dancing, and that was enjoyable as well. Walking around the entire thermal area, taking time on our own was very relaxing. Although I did not go to any other Maori shows etc, I felt that this village tour was more authentic than the other more touristy type of Maori events that I had read about. I would recommend.

The Māori geezer’s geyser
A real crowd-pleaser
It’s the beezer
Good enough for Caesar
He’s a fan, and so am I
Straight up, it’s better than the Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Māori geezer’s geyser.

This was such an informative visit, despite the dull drizzling weather our guide Daniel was awesome. This should be a “must visit” for anyone visiting Rotorua

Daniel was an incredible guide - really lived up to his ancestor's standards. My son (9) enjoyed Daniels keen knowledge on cooking, and how delicious the corn was. Highly recommend this immersive experience compared to some others in town. This felt close, familiar, knowledgeable, and affordable. It didn't try to dazzle with fancy lights, just kept it for what it was - an original, cultural, experience. Will highly recommend to any future friends or family travelling to the area. Nga Mihi !!!

We visited the living Māori Village in May 2024, on a family holiday. Kylie was our tour guide, and she was absolutely fantastic! She gave us so much information about Maori culture & history. The performance we watched, was also amazing. The enthusiasm & effort they put into the performance was great, and they got us tourists involved as well. I highly recommend visiting Whakarewarewa. We were able to see a few of the geysers blow while we were there as well!

Very interesting visit both for the geological and anthropological aspects. I love the Maori culture for life in communion with Nature, with respect, what I receive I give back and I collect only what I need, honoring it. Each of us should live with this attitude. Geisers are incredible phenomena, the heat of Mother Earth, her strength that is powerfully expressed. Fascinating. The guide was very good and passionately introduced us to the life of the village and their history. Compliments.
