Reviews
Very nice cultural place to visit, as the native still stay in the village. You will get tour by native villager if bought ticket for the guided area. We had a very nice n interesting local guide. Place strictly close at 5pm, joined their last tour ard 3.50pm. Tour around 40-50mins walk and photo stop. The place has huge parking place. Recommended to go for those who love to learn maori culture.
Despite the disappointment of finding the park closed due to an unexpected emergency during our visit, I've awarded it three stars as I can't fully gauge the experience. However, from what I could glimpse and the sheer number of visitors, it's evident that this place is a must-see.nnThe indigenous people take immense pride in their heritage, evident in the display of local products and the historical insights provided, including tours conducted for royal visits from the British monarchy.nnThe tour guides, entrusted with ensuring visitors' safety, demonstrate a deep commitment to their sacred role. The unforeseen emergency serves as further evidence of their dedication.nnI'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to return for this exclusive experience.
Just wow! Great place for all ages overall. Some small kids and young children may be a bit bored during the tour.nnWe went for the tour first thing in the morning 8am and it was definitely worth the nice quiet atmosphere. Our guide was very knowledgeable and being a small group she took photos for us.nnHighly recommend stopping in the area if you can, just be prepared for a slight smell of sulfur from the mud pools
We did the Geysers by Night tour and the Maori cultural experience. Our guide was a great mix of fun and educational. We were a group of 20 and we learned the Haka, ate a traditional dessert cooked with the Geyser, and got some great photos and videos of the Geysers bubbling up at night.
Nice place to watch some geysers, and to learn more about kiwi birds. You’re required to have a guided tour when visiting this place so we booked a 9am tour the night before $75/adult.nnThe tour itself was informative. The sights were great. But just a few things that can be improved on.nn1 There was a heavy drizzle during the tour. We had jackets with hoods but it would be more pleasant if the place provided umbrellas like during our Hobbiton Tour as some parts required us walking outdoors.nn2 The guide was speaking softly at the start so we struggled to hear her above the rain.nn3 We visited an area that displayed clothing and fibres. Again, the guide spoke softly so only those directly in front would have heard her. The people who were working there spoke louder than her and that drowned out her words at times.nn4 We were not told at the start of the tour that we would be allowed to walk around after or maybe the guide mentioned it and we just couldn’t hear her so we felt rushed to read and look at the displays. We even lingered a little to see as much as possible before we were rushed to the next location. We felt reassured at the end when the guide ended the tour by telling us we could now walk around freely. Would have been nice to be told this at the start so we’d relax.nn5 The kiwi bird viewing was amazing. Crowd control could have been managed better. We were told to go in single file, which is what we did, but a few of is were left outside the display area and could barely hear her. So while others stood and watched the kiwi birds and listened to the guide, we were left standing, staring at people’s backs, and struggling to hear some words. We resorted to breaking that single file and standing behind others to look through the glass.nnGood thing we did because the moment the guide ended her dialogue, she brought everyone to the exit without time for the people at the back to linger and watch the kiwi birds.nn6 Lastly, the guide spoke some farewell phrases rapidly in Māori that sounded more like a recital. Speaking slower with more gravity might have made a better impression.nnStill left a 4-star review as the place itself is amazing. Just a better organised tour would be good.
