Intéressant!

Intéressant sur le plan de la culture Maorie comme des formations geothermoques. Nous avons eu la chance de voir le geyser Pohutu en pleine activité.

Super

Très intéressant de voir comment vivait les Maori ici avant et surtout comment continuent à vivre la génération d'aujourd'hui. Une ballade sympa autour et la présentation culturelle hyper chouette aussi. La hangi pie à 5 dollars vaut également la peine !
