Kia Ora, and congratulations for taking a closer look at my profile and a desire to visit this fantastic diverse region with a personable knowledgeable private guide. Born and raised in Napier, I moved to Auckland for 18 years, and then for the last 30 years have lived, worked and played in Rotorua and just love it. I have been in the hospitality industry in Rotorua and have been in tourism for the last 18 years and am very passionate about our wonderful region. From Geothermal Activity to Flora and Fauna to Maori Culture and Nature the list goes on. I understand that a number of our clients travel a long way to New Zealand and want to make the most of their time here, therefore I will customise a tour to suit your preferences and being a local I can show you some unique places that the larger group tours miss. Our tours specialise in individuals, couples or small groups (up to 16). A speciality is Shore Excursions from the Port of Tauranga to Rotorua for a day tour, we understand the time constraints of these tours and have you back dockside at least 1 hour prior to the sailing time, and as I am a local resident of Rotorua I know where to go and how to get there without wasting valuable time. I have a range of vehicles from a Sedan to Stretch Limousines to Mercedes Sprinter mini coaches so that you may travel in style and comfort, full commentary, all vehicles are fully air-conditioned and we provide complimentary chilled bottled New Zealand water.

I have lived, worked and played in Rotorua for the last 30 years and am PASSIONATE about the Region which shows through during the tours. 2011 Finalist in the Peoples Choice Awards.

Overview of your Tauranga tour

All passengers will be met with a Welcome Sign to identify myself to you. We take a scenic tour along the Pacific Coastline of Mt Maunganui before heading inland to pass through Kiwifruit Orchards. Continuing on we pass through part of the largest man made forest in the Southern Hemisphere on our way to Rotorua, we pass over the Kaituna River which is a Grade 5 Rafting River. The next stop is Te Puia, where you will see the largest natural geyser "Pohutu", boiling mud pools, kiwi birds, Pre-European replica Maori Village, weaving, carving and cultural concert. After leaving Te Puia, we take in the city sights including Government Gardens and Lake Front. If time permits we will visit the Blue and Green Lakes, Lake Tarawera and the Redwood Forest, before heading back to the Port of Tauranga via the Scenic Highway. Oh and we do make time for lunch, we have a variety of cafes to suit your taste. We will have you back at the ship at least one hour prior to sailing.
