Te Pā Tū - Māori kulturopplevelse

pickup from a convenient point in city centre to send us to the village itself. the entire experience was very immersive. the Māori people showed us their way of living in the past as well as singing performance before ending with a communal dinner

An Absolute Must try experience!! Very well organised and managed. Very informative and engaging. Staff very friendly and polite. Food is amazing too.

We really enjoyed this experience. It was a great way to learn about Māori culture. It was quite interactive, and the song and dances were impressive. Dinner was also very good and plenty to eat!

attractions on the way: There are fun activities in the village, very well presented the Maori culture group size: Not too many people but enough to have fun together

This was an amazing cultural experience! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! It is important to meet at their pickup site in Rotorua, rather than going directly to the village because the experience actually starts on the busses. They then perform a traditional Haka before the group can enter the village itself. They treated this ceremony with great importance and reverence and made it very clear that this was the only serious part of the evening. Everyone was extremely respectful of this request, and it made it all the more impactful and powerful to experience. Then, we had time to explore different aspects of Maori culture and life. Along the way, the tribespeople did an incredible job of soliciting questions. They truly wanted to share their culture with us, and it was clear that we should not be shy. What a beautiful sentiment! We then had a spell-binding cultural performance in their meeting house! They were some of the most dynamic performers I have ever seen, with a stage presence that spilled out past the walls of the building. It was clear that they genuinely loved performing and working together to share their culture with us. I could have watched that performance for hours! We then headed to dinner, which was served family style to the table. It was very good, and it was nice to talk with the other people around the table. We then rode the bus back to the pick up point. Overall, a truly incredible experience!!

An immersion into Maori history and culture that's well worth doing when you're here. It was a night of song, dance and good food.

项目过于商业流水线安排，希望能推出深度体验毛利人衣食住行一天的项目，光看表演做小游戏不足以了解毛利文化，要是能在村里住几晚学习制作毛利餐食、手工、武器，和村民近距离交流，有haka战舞课程颁发证书就更好了，晚餐好吃但没有体现毛利特色，唱歌很好听！

저는 한국인 관광객입니다. 마오리 문화에 관심이 있어 이 프로그램을 신청하였습니다. 픽업 시 친절한 드라이버가 프로그램의 배경과 진행에 대해 설명해주어 시작부터 기대가 되었어요. 도착해서 환영인사, 마오리 체험에 이어 공연과 식사까지 모두 일정에 기재된대로 원활하게 진행되었습니다. 무엇보다 본인들의 문화에 대한 자부심과 이를 체험하러 와준 관광객들에 대한 존중감이 느껴져서 좋았습니다. 설명도 비교적 천천히 진행되었고, 식사시간에 각 나라에서 온 관광객들을 확인하고 각 나라의 대표적인 노래들을 불러줬는데, 그 재능이 놀라웠어요! 본인들의 전통을 지키면서도 세상과 공존하기 위한 노력을 응원합니다! I’m a tourist from Korea and joined this program to experience Māori culture. Everything went smoothly from the pickup to the welcome, cultural activities, performance, and dinner. The pride they showed in their culture and the respect for visitors were truly impressive. I especially loved the dinner time when they sang songs from each guest’s country — such a wonderful touch!

It was a truly wonderful experience, leaving a good impression of the Maori culture. The dinner was the best meal I've had on this trip.

The performers are very professional and enthusiastic about their performance. The food was a bit oily though.
