It was thoroughly insightful and engaging experience. A brief tour at the start was informative which led to the hangi buffet dinner was sublime. We went for a few helpings it was so good (so come hungry!). The show was really interesting and professional (apparently the tribe had six of the groups in last years haka championship!). Then watching the geysers was really cool.
