What To Expect
On our customised Private Tour you'll enjoy a fun and informative tour with an experienced local guide showcasing the iconic Mt Maunganui, gorgeous sandy beaches, affluent homes, then we gradually ascend the central volcanic plateau to Rotorua stopping at a Kiwi farm where you'll be amazed at how this locally economically important plant is grown.
In Rotorua we visit the iconic venue - Whakarewarewa Maori village (incl. a slick 30 minute performance of unique harmonious song/dance by members of the local tribe, a walk through a mystical geothermally active wetland, bubbling hot mudpools and springs and view some iconic geysers)
Then we drive to the nearby holiday lakes of okareka and tikitapu/blue (and possibly Tarawera if time allows), Stunning photo opportunities abound here, plus we take a quick easy trek into a grove of NZ native forest...tranquil, serene and unique.
Redwoods forest and the dynamic rapids at Okere falls are two more options, again if time allows.

Meeting Point
Please note, that we can accommodate up to 15 passengers, however the list price is only for 4 passengers, the additional costs (which covers for entry to Whakarewarewa Geothermal Village for an easy walk extremely close to the most geothermally active wetland in NZ and a finely honed Maori concert performance), should automatically increase as you add passenger numbers. We’ll greet you just outside the Port security gate, a 150 m walk north along the wharf from where your cruise ship docks at the Port of Tauranga. We will be waiting on a grassy knoll by the flagpoles just outside this gate most probably wearing black short sleeved collared shirts and bearing a sign with your name on it
