    Young Māori guides with a good sense of humour. Some pudding cooked in bubbling thermal pool. Geysers were magical. The boys shared Māori stories and sung for tour group.

    The only downside is we visited on one of the few rainy days Rotorua experienced so far this year. Te Puia is a unique place and the scenery is something else. The experience is priced accordingly, so it was disappointing that the rainstorm made it impossible to walk around and enjoy the unique atmosphere. The tour guide tried to make the best of it, and obviously there's nothing they can do about the weather. The Maori cultural experience and dinner was very done. The hosts were both informative and entertaining. The dinner was incredible. They had a buffet with a number of great choices, quality on-par with an upscale restaurant. To be fair, only a small portion of the meal was prepared in the traditional "hangi" style. Te Puia is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, but do your best to time your visit for a nice day.

    We spent 4 hours during the day, took a break and returned for the evening cultural show and buffet dinner. Although it is extremely crowded with tour groups during the day one can escape by heading away from the geysers and the Kiwi House to the more remote areas. We started by walking around the facility stopping at the Kiwi exhibit, the geysers, the model traditional village and the cultural craft center. The full day option allows an in-depth look at what they have to offer. The evening potion included a shorter visit to part of the center and finished with hot chocolate at the geysers. In between we were entertained with a wonderful cultural performance and an incredible meal - save room for dessert! The cafes offer a lovely assortment of food and drink during the day and there is ample space to sit and enjoy one's meal. No surprise, there is also a very nice gift shop on site.

    This was included on our tour of NZ and was a great experience. From the geysers bubbling and shooting water sprays through the Maori culture and carvings to a Maori Hangi and concert, it was a superb day of entertainment and insight. We would do it again as there is so much to take in.
