    We had an incredible day at Whakarewarewa. We went as a family of 4 and chose the Combo option, which included the Village tour, Cultural performance and self-guided walk of the geothermal pools. Our guide, Mariama, was exceptional. Her stories of growing up in the village was incredibly interesting and we felt really honoured to spend the time with her. It was also wonderful to see a haka live during the Cultural performance. Seeing the geothermal pools and an erupting geyser was also unforgettable. Highly recommend this full experience during a visit to Rotorua.

    We stayed at Rydges Rotorua which made our visit to Whakarewarewa so easy. Several people recommended that we visit the village and upon arrival to our hotel, we could see the steam rising from the village which intrigued us. I booked tickets to the cultural performance and a tour following. The entire experience was incredible and enlightening. From the start, the team in the front office was so friendly and helpful to direct us and answer our various questions. The cultural performance was absolutely breathtaking from the moment the performers took the stage. They gave a robust musical and dance performance and if brought tears to my eyes. Then, we met for our tour led by Miriama who brought us around the village and I learned so much and saw some unique and gorgeous sights. I was impressed by the way of life the Māori folks have utilized their resources and how they’ve maintained their culture. I could tell Miriama is passionate about her home and people and I appreciate her willingness to share it with us. Great experience that we will always remember!

    Our guide was great. She provided us with historical and insight on modern day village living. Despite pouring rain, the guide made the experience special.
