This experience is a MUST DO if you plan to visit Rotorua! The entire evening was immersive and interactive, where we learnt about Maori history, culture and activities. Our hosts made us feel very welcome and put on the most passionate and talented performances! Their voices are amazing! Dinner was a multi course delight, followed by good conversation with hosts and fellow guests.

entertaining evening. very keen enthusiastic Maori, sharing their culture and activities including trying to teach the men the Huka. Good, multicourse dinner. Wine/beer is extra but makes the tablemates more interesting. Worth doing this once if you are in Rotorua and want a little Maori experience.

A must do when you're in the area. This was one of the best experiences my husband and I have ever had. The people are so incredibly friendly and talented. We were shown around a typical Maori Village and could even try some traditions ourselves. The show and food that followed were amazing. Can only recommend!
