    Wonderful! Our guide, Mary, was so helpful, and cheerfully shared her deep knowledge of the area and the People. The Maori Cultural Experience was awe inspiring, the Hell's Gate Mud Baths and geothermal pools were a unique experience. Saw the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Pools: hard to believe they are actually on this planet.Would definitely recommend: 5/5.
