Mitai Maori Village

What an exciting evening! We got to see our superb supper cooking in the ground, and then enjoy it, watch a Maori Tribe show explaining their culture, walk through the woods and see the glow worms in their natural habitat. What a glorious, enjoyable day.

Can you say exciting?? From the geothermal area and geysers to Maori Tribe show to Kiwis to Redwoods to Government Gardens to black swans? A well worth trip. Everything thing becomes your favorite stop!

My parents, daughter and I recently had dinner at the Mitai Maori Village. Our host was amazing and was able to great everyone in their native language. Additionally the history of the village and culture was enlightening and fascinating. The evening ended with a walk to the sacred pool. It was an amazing evening! thank you

We had a wonderful time at the Mitai Village experience. It was very friendly and welcoming. Question time was my favorite, it gave everyone a chance to ask what they wanted to know about Maori culture and the MC answered the Questions beautifully. The food was delicious.

Very welcoming and inclusive. A great introduction to Maori history and culture. The walk through the bush and the recreated village felt completely authentic. The arrival of the warriors by canoe was very exciting. The food was great and there was plenty of it, but was completed western, so would have welcomed the opportunity to at least try something traditional.

Great show. Very amusing host with good banter. Very informative about Maori culture and awesome Hangi. Recommend this event to anyone visiting NZ.

Had a fantastic night at Mitai Maori Village. Cultural show was entertaining and informative and really well done. Dinner was delicious and plenty of food. An extremely enjoyable experience that would be enjoyed by all.

We both enjoyed the experience. The only criticism was we weren't given any time frame after arriving to have our drinks finished by. Also, the same at the end of the meal before we started the final walk.

Our traditional Maori experience was truly unique. We gained knowledge of both culture and food both visually and through the insight and history portrayed through our guide throughout the evening. Also, with the numbers involved, we were impressed with the co-ordination and organisation of the whole event. John & Mary Nelson Bay NSW

This Maori cultural experience is well worth a visit. The commentary, show and dinner were outstanding and I would highly recommend it. This experience was recommended to us by friends who live Rotorua. It is a full evening of awesome entertainment and wonderful hangi food.

The food was very good. The show was also quite good. The performers were joyful and were proud to share their culture with the audience.

Very authentic, enjoyable and educational. Well organised. The food was plenty and everyone was accommodative and truly cared about our experience. There were a lot of tourists however it still felt intimate and authentic.
