Omvisning i Whakarewarewa Village

We loved everything about The Living Maori Village. Our guide was amazing and we loved listening to her stories as a child growing up there. She explained village life beautifully and with such great respect. We enjoyed eating corn on the cob cooked to perfection from the geothermal spring. We added onto our ticket to see the cultural show and I'm so glad we did. It was truly magnificent.

It was drizzling on that day but the guide was still professional to explain to us. The corn cooked by hot spring water was truly sweet and succulent. The geothermal trail is an amazing walk. The smoke coming out from the hot springs makes the ambient surreal. Māori cultural performance is quite ordinary but it’s fine to join. Hangi lunch (NZD$38) is available for order at the cafe. Redemption of Klook ticket is fast and hassle free.

We opted for a guided tour and it was definitely worth it. Michael, our guide , is a native Maori and enthused at having us join him to show us round the village, a wealth of information. We were served sweetcorn freshly cooked in the hot pool, delicious, no dressing required!

Amazing and educational experience to learn how the Māori people lived here for over 500 years in harmony with nature and also harnessing the power of the Earth in their lives - cooking and bathing. The corn cooked in the thermal waters was the most delicious corn said my 7 year old son! Loved the experience of walking through the pools. It was a particularly cold day and the hot thermal air and the steam created a surreal atmosphere. I’ll definitely recommend people to come here. The guide was very informative and kind and let my kids practice saying the place name many times.

Det var fantastisk, guiden var så kunnskapsrik og forklarte alt skikkelig. Haka-forestillingen var utrolig bra. Totalopplevelsen var flott. Man må besøke dette for å lære om maorikulturen og hvordan de lever livene sine.

A wonderful experience! Our guide was a Maori who lived in the village herself so it was really touching to hear her talk so passionately. We managed to learn a lot about the Maori culture and see some geysers, try out some corn cooked in the boiling pool, watch a cultural performance (includes the haka) and appreciate all the stories and how they go about their daily lives. highly recommend!

너무 좋았습니다. 가이드님이 계속 다니면서 설명을 너무 잘해주십니다. 마오리 문화에 대해 조금이나마 알고 느낄 수 있는 좋은 시간이였습니다. 중간에 항이 음식도 맛 볼 수있는 기회가 있었습니다. 옥수수가 맛있었어요. 신비한 지형과 지열에 의한 연기와 말도안되게 맑은 물과 유황의 냄새까지 뉴질랜드의 자연을 체험 할 수 있는 완벽한 시간이였어요! 강력하게 추천해요👍

A very interesting and informative tour. The guide is native living in that area. She was very knowledgeable and her commentary was very clear.

개인적으로 테푸이아보다 더 좋았음. 뉴질랜드 마오리족이 살고 있는 마을이 여러개가 있는데, 이렇게 관광목적으로 오픈 한 장소는 여기가 유일한 걸로 알고있음. 실제로 살고있는 주민들이 안내를 해주고 15명 정도 되는 그룹으로 움직이는데 영어를 좀 천천히 해줘서 적당히 알아들을 수 있었음. 마을은 작아서 다 돌아보는데 40분도 안 걸리지만 마오리족 공연까지 보니까 딱 1시간 맞았음. 지열온천에서 직접 삶은 옥수수 시식해주는데 진짜 맛있어요 뉴질랜드에서 이게 제일 맛있었음. 그리고 테푸이아와 경계선이 있는데 와카레와레와에서 보는 테푸이아가 진짜 멋짐.

I didnt even need to show my voucher, they had my name on the system for fast transaction to change for physical ticket. It was very insightful and informative. Eye opening to learn more about Maori culture. Highly recommend 👍🏼
