We wanted to experience traditional Maori hangi and witness the magic of the Haka. We were excited the not only see the Haka, but we got to watch the war canoe come in with warriors onboard. The Hangi was mouth wateringly delicious and very filling, oh did I mention the dessert...OMG! The family histories were shared with us, lots of laughter. I would highly recommend spending your time here, you won't regret it.
