민속마을과 간헐천

주소를 입력하여 찾아가는데 조금 혼선이 있었지만 마오리 마을이 잘 정비되어 있고 공연도 보기 좋았다. 산책로를 따라 걸으면서 간헐천과 화산지형을 살펴보는 것도 흥미롭다.

가성비 최악!

뉴질랜드 여행 중 최악의 가성비! 마오리족이 현대적으로 사는 민속촌 아닌 민옥촌...후회됨., ㅜㅜ

From Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village Guided Tour

Kia ora Chol, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry you found your visit disappointing, as we hear often that what delights our visitors is the authenticity of our experience: That is a real life living village, you get to see facilities that have been built with our visitors in mind, set amongst the villagers’ homes. Our Cultural Experience (which includes the concert and tour, and all day access to our village, including all the nature trails and geothermal activity), our pricing is on a par, (if not lower than) similar-type experiences in the area. For us, Whakarewarewa, The Living Maori Village, we love giving our manuhiri (visitors) the opportunity to experience a diverse range of geothermal wonders and real Maori lifestyle in one place, something extremely unique in New Zealand and the world. As above, we get fantastic reviews and positive feedback on this authentic experience: One which offers a peek into real life in a Maori Village. It's a shame you feel this way, we'd welcome you one day in the future to perhaps alter your perceptions. Ngā mihi Whakarewarewa Team

From Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village Guided Tour

Kia Ora Yeo, Thank you for your lovely review and rating us five stars. Being able to visit a living Māori village is a unique experience – one that should definitely be on everyone's to-do list in NZ.

가성비 좋았어요

유명한 테푸이아를 갈까도 했지만 공연까지 포함한 가격은 이곳의 두배가 넘는 가격이라, 여행경비 생각해서 선택했는데, 1시간의 마을 설명도 포함되어 있고 공연까지 보고 알찬 구성이었습니다. 설명해주시는 분 말로는 테푸이아가 뉴질랜드 정부가 지원한? 그런 곳이라 갑자기 확 사람이 몰렸다고 하더라구요. 규모가 조금 작긴했지만 진짜 마오리마을 둘러본 경험을 해서 만족합니다!!
