We started with the guided tour at 930 & finished at around lunchtime, the grounds are stunning but our highlight was my step dad from the UK being chosen as ‘chief’ in the cultural show he loved the whole experience! Fab day & a must do :) the dancers & the cultural show was the highlight we didn’t want it to end!!!!!

Fab morning :)

We had such a good time and would always visit again. The money is definitely worth it! Thank you :-)

Awesome Experience

This was such an amazing tour! So good to get on the ground and experience what happened many years ago from such an insightful tour guide. We started off watching the 20minutes video then began our tour, watched a fantastic cultural performance and visited the museum. Great facilities and an awesome gift store!

What a great tour of Treaty ground history!

I saw learned and experienced more than my expectations allowed!
