Great performance,good food!
I really enjoyed the experience of another culture and it was a great insight into the practices of the traditional owners of the land.
Interactive show and dancing was good...? The so called Hãngi meal was disappointing.. Not cooked traditionally which is the main Reason we booked the show and meal...?
Excellent experience, and very participation oriented.

Must do experience!
The demonstration/ show/ dances were a wonderful insight, with explanations before and after each dance. Understanding what we were a part of made it more special and I’d recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. The staff were all wonderful and the meal was great, topped off by an opportunity to feed the deer after our main course; a really special touch.
