    After picking up our tickets, we approached the entrance to the Maori Village. The initial scene was quite ethereal with lots of steam venting continuously as we walked from the Memorial Archway, over the bridge and past the Wharepuni. After clearing the village, we walked the entire geothermal trail passing by a couple of lakes, mudpools and ended up on a hill with multiple lookout views. The map we picked up in the ticketing office did not match all the highlighted stops on the actual trail so it got a bit confusing what exactly we were seeing. In addition, while the gravel travel was in good condition some of the benches and fences could stand to be repaired. Overall opinion from the family that there was nothing that unique or exciting to see. Kuirau Park would have sufficed for our exposure to the geothermal activity in Rotorua and much cheaper.

    The performance was so commercialised it felt like Disneyland. The village itself was not explained unless you had a guide and 30 people with you. Very disappointing.

    One of NZ's oldest Maori tourism experiences. Options include the self-guided geothermal trail and the guided Village tour. We chose the former. It was a relaxed hour's stroll around a loop track, taking in boiling mud, bubbling water, and lots of steam. Fairly easy track with a modest hill providing some good vantage points. Only poor aspect is the subpar toilet block out by the ticket office.

    Visited the village whilst in Rotarua and it was a real gem. The village is home to the geothermal springs and the hot bubbling mud pools. The people working here are very friendly. There are a number of options when visiting such as a self guided trail and a guided tour also there is a cycle trail. There is a cultural show also which was highly enjoyable. Highlight to us was a personal one where we had our photo taken with a photo from my wife's mother at the same place from 70 years ago.

    The village was very welcoming and showed my friends and I a lot about the culture. Being a tourist in a foreign country can be intimidating, but the people here made sure we felt welcomed. I would highly recommend visiting the village to get a true New Zealand experience.
