Worth it. Arrive at the time to do the cultural dance (book ahead), it finishes just in time to do the free guided tour right after. Great non profit keeping Maori culture alive.

Tour & show/feast is good value. At the end host will offer another trip down to the geyser but this time in a golf cart with hot choc waiting (in winter).

Great stop to learn about Maori culture. Not cheesy at all and all the guides appear to be legit modern Maori themselves. Recommend.

Worth it, beautiful geyser activities, bubbling mud pools and smelly hot air. It's like Iceland, but greener and smaller.

Well guided tours! Groups are quite large though. You can watch the geysers erupt and there are wood carving and weaving schools.

Nice show but too touristy, it was performed inside an auditorium. They didn’t take us to the geysers, which was included in the tickets.

Demasiado comercial y caro. El geiser es lo que vale la pena. El show maori pueden verlo en otros sitios a menor precio.
