Very friendly staff, excellent guide on walking tour - Mera. So interesting how all the geothermal activity is used in daily living. Thoroughly enjoyed cultural dance and song show. Scored amazed pictures with them as well. Don’t forget to try a Hangi pie, or corn - so delicious. Great value, highly recommend.

Great Show
Great show of dancing and song. The tour around the village afterwards was very informative and interesting.
