    Stop by and see Jason Phillips for an incredible custom Te Moko (tattoo). Corn on the cob is excellent. Toss coins to the penny divers. Someone feed these skinny little cats!

    Definitely take a guided tour and watch a cultural performance. Make sure to explore some of the walking trails before you go.

    Fascinating tours of Maori culture and history. Lots of hot springs and geysers to see too.

    A fantastic view into Maori life both now and then with wonderful geothermal landscapes. A little pricey, but it keeps the village alive.

    Well worth the trip. Living Maori village and geothermal area. Nice performance of traditional dances and sons including haka. Much cheaper than the other village nearby.

    Take a walk to the blue and green lakes. Enjoy the view over the thermal valley, maybe you'll see the geysers in activity. However the maori dance and haka were less impressive than in Waitangi.
