The Maori cultural Performance Show is performed by one of Rotorua's leading Kapa Haka groups - Te Pakira and includes waiata [songs] of our history, Patere [rhythmic chants], stick games, performance of the world famous HAKA and an audience participation section which is always a fun time.

How long should we allow to visit the destination?
We suggest a minimum of 2 hours if you are also doing the concert, this allows time for the guided tour, the concert, some time at the cafe and a walk around some of the valley paths. But you can stay all day if you wish, there's lots to see.
