Loved the singing and the music. Even though we are not familiar with Maori music, the songs were universally beautiful. Enjoyed the history lesson and the culture and walk through the rainforest.

You certainly must have a Maori cultural experience when in NZ, and the Mitai village does a fine job in providing a hangi dinner, culture show (with traditional ceremony, dance, music, and entertainment) and a brief evening walking tour. Of course it's very touristy, and the tour buses fill the many tables, but it's a must-do when in NZ so take the plunge. The food is fine in terms of being adequate but don't expect a gourmet meal. It's pretty much a mass production done with a friendly, good-spirited ethos. Allow yourself to enjoy it!

As a Maori and having grown up on the marae, Mitai Maori Cultural Experience was I felt very Authentic. We had the Lions Tour happening so the vast majority of visitors were from Europe. I enjoyed sitting amongst our tour group & experiencing our culture through an international visitors eyes. The interaction with the crowd, the explanations of our protocols, necessity of survival, & what is wahi tapu. A wonderful reminder/ reflection of who I am.... Aroha tino nui Paddy Ngawhika 😊😊
