Who can spell Whakarewarewa?

An amazing insight into life in a Maori village that lives daily with the prospect of sudden thermal activity.

Malo Aupito

A fantastic experience by our cousins across the ocean. The guide spoke with courage , power and the mana he drew whilst commanding the crowd you could feel it. Thank you again Chief from Tuhoe,Uruwera. Your forefathers will be proud. The White and black cat Bites btw, attacked the English tourist (how fitting). Chur

C'était juste très bien. C'est ce que nous souhaitons. Savoir que la démonstration de danse est à 12h30 pour anticiper l'heure de visite. Guide adorable.
