Every gazing moment was W🤩W, for me it was like a moonlit night, shining through the dense canopy of tree tops while floating around inside a cave 'with so much history' ❤️ out of respect for the iwi and the glow worms 🐛 no photo's 📱📸 while visiting the cave, however you can take pics exiting the cave, absolutely beautiful tour guide, he explained the history 👌🏽❤️ answered Q and explained the 'dos and don'ts' all said professionally and with love 'Ka pai u Sasha'
Totally recommend 👌🏽 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The geyser was great and I was able to get pictures and video. For the best places to sit, you should get there early. We went on the 45 minute walk because I have a knee injury. There are a 60 and 90 minute walk also. It was great but it probably took us longer because of taking pictures and I have to be careful with my knee. I loved all the thermal activity and the craters were interesting. This was my first experience of this sort, and I am very glad we went.

I cannot find a highlight of the Mitai Experience as the whole evening was wonderful from beginning to end! I felt really immersed in the culture, history and stories told. The bush walk, waka warriors, glowworms and cultural performance were superb and I'm only sorry that I'm not a huge eater and was unable to manage seconds of the absolutely delicious hanging! My thanks to all the wonderful staff, performers and whanau. I would recommend the Mitai Experience to anyone!

The dinner was delicious with lots of variety and great desserts and coffee was nice with dessert.
Unfortunately it was a very rainy evening and the outside portions were somewhat difficult. The foot-ing was difficult and could have been dangerous during the last little parade outside after the show. The second walkabout outside could have been eliminated tonight due to the rain. However, the umbrellas were much appreciated.
