Watch our stories unfold through the dynamic scenes of our warriors paddling down Wai-o-Whiro stream, the melodious sounds of our instruments and entertainment from our performers including the haka. Satisfy your hunger with the traditional Māori Hangi and concluding your evening with a walk through our forest to see the ancient, fortified village learning the old ways of living and survival of our people and discover the natural resource Te Puna a Tuhoe, freshwater spring.

The haka was fabulous as was the maori dinner hangi. Very informative and the people were amazing. The onstage performance was out of this world. If you are in NZ this is a must do activity

This was a very enjoyable evening. The buffet meal was very good, and served efficiently. The cultural input was excellent, including the post-meal 'show'. The coach, which took us from our hotel, was very old, and more like an old school bus, which did not live up to the rest of the evening.

This was a great experience! Very informative. Everyone was very nice. Walking through the village was an immersive experience, especially after dark when the glowworms were out. The meal was delicious, and there was plenty of food for everyone to have as much as they wanted.

The host, meal, staff, area, and show were fantastic. The meal was delicious and plentiful. Family style seating, we enjoyed the company of other travelers and guests. Transport from our hotel was missed, but the staff quickly repaired it once our hotel delivered us. They were very apologetic and comped our bar drinks. The show was wonderful for all ages and a definite activity if you are wanting to learn about the Maori people.

Outstanding performances by the whanau. Meal was great. This is a unique and extremely well organised celebration of Maori - we were enchanted by it.
