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
Outstanding experience - loved it all. Well worth the visit! The staff were just lovely!
Tēnā koe we appreciate you taking the time to provide your feed back.
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
This was an amazing experience. The guides were very polite and presented a polished performance. From being able to explore historical stories, waking through the story of the Atua and then the theatre presentation, ataahua. Ngā mihi nui. Highly recommend.
Kia ora Jackie, Thank you for your review we really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Ngā mihi
