Très intéressant

L’expérience était vraiment chouette et très intéressante ! Le spectacle était vraiment surprenant Seulement c’était beaucoup trop court, on aurait aimé voir beaucoup plus de choses différentes. C’est donc un peu cher pour le temps passé sur place

Magical Manea

Loved learning the story of Kupe and the significance of Hokiangi Harbour for the Māori people. Looking out beyond the sculptures to the sparkling waters and sun kissed sand dunes brought tears to my eyes. A spiritual and emotional experience. Thank you to our guides for their warm welcome to this special place

Dissatisfied

We booked and went to the treat grounds thinking it was the same thing. We were informed it was an hour drive between we then asked for a refund and someone was going to get back to us. Still waiting for them to call us to discuss the refund process.I guess we are the stupid tourist and a quick buck was made by company. Disappointed that there is no follow up regarding something that was our fault but also an innocent fault on our side. We would still welcome a phone call or discussion about this
