Sehr schöne Tou durch das Maori Village.Man erfährt alles über die Geschichte und Kultur. Es war sehr spannend und sollte unbedingt bei einer Reise nach Neuseeland angesehen werden. Thanks

Sehr schöne Tour
Wir hatten eine sehr interessante und erfahrungsreiche Tour. Ein Highlight war die Verkostung des im heißen Quellwasser zubereiteten Maiskolbens. Unsere Führerin war sehr engagiert und hat alles sehr gut und verständlich erklärt.

Ein schöner Einblick in die Kultur der Maori
Die Tour wurde von einer Nachfahrin des Chiefs geführt. Hier wurden einem ein Einblick in das Leben und die Traditionen der Maori gewehrt! Ein lecker Snack aus der heißen Quelle inklusive! Uns hat es viel Spaß gemacht!
