值得回味再三的地方

我們是早上九點的梯次,一個當地毛利人導覽四個人,講得很詳細也很親切,村落裡的設施、天然景觀都讓人嘆為觀止,很值得一去!

From Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village Guided Tour

Kia Ora, Thank you for taking time out to learn about Māori Culture during your visit to NZ. Of course, a double thank you - we are grateful you chose us! Our friendly whanau (family) here at Whakarewarewa are honored to be in a position to share their culture with manuhiri like yourself. Thanks for taking the time to share this review, this helps us know where we are on track with our offering here at Whakarewarewa The Living Māori Village. Thanks again! Ngā mihi, Yueyue
