umwerfend

es hat alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Diese Geothermie ist so begeisternd und der Guide Daniel ist der Hammer. Mit so viel Liebe zu seinem Land und seiner Kultur hat er uns eine tolle Führung gemacht.

Sehr interessant und sehenswert!

Mir hat das Dorf und die Führung der Einheimischen sehr gut gefallen. Auch die Aufführung war klasse! Das einzige was zu bemängeln ist, war die große Gruppe von ca 30-35 Personen..

Toll Toll Toll

Bin zum 2.Mal in Rotorua...hab beim 1. Mal Te Puia gesehen...auch schön, aber eher ein Museum, das die Maori-Kultur vermitteln will... Whaka ist eine kleineres Gelände, aber eben ein Dorf und es lebt... es ist deshalb viel authentischer. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen und haben eine tolle Darbietung und eine interessante Führung durch das Dorf erlebt. Auch die alltagstaugliche Nutzung der Erdenergie hat uns fasziniert. Absolute Empfehlung

Gute Eindrücke in das Dorfleben der Maori

Interessante Eindrücke in das Dorfleben der Maori. Die Geysire sind sehr schön und die Walkways sind interessant und gut zu schaffen. Die Cultural Experience sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen.
