We received so much more than our moneys worth in every aspect! Our guide Mikaere (sp?) could not have been better. His knowledge of his land and people was incredible and he imparted that knowledge in such a genuine, caring way that it made you respect, understand and embrace the Maori culture, lifestyle and beliefs. We truly loved every part of this tour and it just kept on giving. From the geothermal area and geyser, the hangi feast, the kiwi conservation and on to the cultural show it was absolutely amazing. A big shout out to our other hosts E Haka and Nate too! We highly recommend this tour, it was money well spent! Don't hesitate, just do it!
