The venue has improved and the performance was still stellar but it was more challenging to listen to the song and words when the performance was done in a semi-open space compared to how it was years ago. Still, it’s a lovely must-see performance showcasing a glimpse of the Maori culture.
It was an entertaining and educational experience. I've been living in NZ for almost 20 years and it was the first time I've watched a Maori cultural show live in person. If it wasn't for family visiting from the USA I wouldn't have gone to Whakarewarewa. To the performers, keep up the good work.
Great show
This was my best experience in New Zealand! The haka is so powerful that it was an honor to be able to see it so close! The rest of the performance was also great and also recommend the guided tour!
