    Super sympa!

    Très sympa! La visite guidée de la partie néo-zélandaise du parc est très intéressante et riche en explications, n’hésitez pas à venir 2h en avance (surtout si vous êtes avec des enfants) pour pouvoirs visiter la totalité du parc (en autonomie). Le spectacle Maorie est très bien et interactif. Le repas est bon, la cuisson est parfaite. Je met juste un bémol au fait que cela soit cuit dans des plats en intox et non plus comme jadis ou comme cela peut encore très fait en nouvelle Calédonie ou Vanuatu.

    Good effort, but not impressive

    The group was too young to be impressive. Way too many people (tourists) on the experience
