An amazing spiritual experience - Mirama was an amazing tour guide gave us a lot of information about her family heritage and her home.

Genuine Rotorua thermal experience - Authentic, informative and the guide was lovely, plus included the whole tour group in the experience. This is a very old tour, going since the 1960’s, and includes a lot of history of the site and the people who live there. It is not tired, more genuine of the historical significance.

Great place to learn Māori history /culture and there technic to cook food. - A wonderful experience, we had a guided tour of the village, our guide was knowledgeable and you could tell he had a lot of love in her heart for the village and her history as she took us around. We were even treated to some freshly cooked corn boiled in the pool! All in all, one of my favourite experiences in Auckland

Amazing - well-worth a visit - We did the guided tour, cultural show, and self-guided trails. All were brilliant! Our tour guide, Miriama, was amazing. We could really feel the love she has for the village and her family, her culture. We learned so much from her. Being visitors to New Zealand, we really wanted to learn more about the Māoris and their culture, and Whakarewarewa was a great place to do that. The self-guided tour of the geothermal area was wonderful too; it was really sunny when we went and everything was so beautiful!

Maori hospitable community and natural resources wonders - Great immersion into Whakarewarewa Village past, present and future. Performers, tour guide as well as other community members met on site conveyed authenticity and were inclusive of visitors. I really enjoyed the self-guided walk as a way to reflect and absorb what Nature had to offer, including a vintage point on Pōhutu Geyser. Thank you for having me!

An informative, personal and beautiful visit! - We enjoyed our visit. We appreciated the tour. It was fun and informative - as was the cultural performance. We also really liked that we could enjoy the trails on our own. It was a perfect introduction to the Māori culture and a geothermal landscape.

Wonderful tour - thoroughly recommend - Amazing geothermal pools and tour of a Maori village. The guide was super friendly and talked about the village with compassion that brought everything to life. The geothermal trail was spectacular.

An amazing Rotorua experience! - We had a very interesting tour of Whaka by a local resident. He had many stories to tell us of growing up in Whaka and living in the community still. He was very open to questions. We learned alot about how people live in such a geothermally active area. We did go on the trail hikes after our tour. A great experience.

Great option in Rotorua - Miriama was a fantastic guide. The combo with Legacy Tour + Geothermal walk is a great option to understand the local culture and see the impressive geothermal area unique to Rotorua. I would recommend this to international and local visitors to the area

Good tour but nothing exceptional - It is interesting to see the cooking method (and tasted the corns cooked in the hot spring, very yummy!). However, you don't see other Maori villagers or how they live as you would have imagined before you sign up for the tour (you just get guided tour in the village and see the houses and hot springs. The Geysers are so far away that you can only get a remote view of them). The Trail has some great views too (especially in the middle of the trail where you can see a place with lots of steams) , but in comparison to Waiotapu for example the views are less impressive. Overall, if you have time, interested in Maori culture and have nothing better to do, it is a good place to go.
