I am Wendy and I will be your Shore Excursion tour guide - a born and bred true "Kiwi" and very proud of my country! I have been tour guiding for 11 years and grew up in this lovely part of the world. As a child we went on family holidays to the beach in our caravan, spending all day swimming, fishing and exploring nature. I am sure my mother had many anxious moments waiting for our return. I now enjoy riding my Electric bike on the many bike trails within NZ, walking my dogs and eating good food. I left NZ in my early 20's to travel and have world experiences. Always looking to see where I would like to settle down, the desire was to return to NZ and show people a small part of my country by offering Shore Excursions private tours. As a tour guide I will take you to my favourite sights and places off the beaten track. I am a great story teller and enjoy sharing my tales of New Zealand to create lasting memories for you to take home. Come with me on a day of exploration and sightseeing as we tour in my backyard. . . . . . . . The Stunning Bay of Plenty …. with inviting Beaches, Geothermal Activity, Maori Culture, Hobbiton and warm friendly people. We seem to have it all. My tours are flexible and I will work in with your preferences for your day out. We can have an action packed day or take a more leisurely pace ensuring you arrive back at your ship on time. I look forward to welcoming you on board my VW air conditioned van for a day of exploring. I hold a NZ Passenger Service Operators Licence and my van has a NZ safe service certificate. I have traveled extensively though out the world and hold a Teaching English Certificate. No Restrictions

Overview of your Tauranga tour

The stunning Bay of Plenty with its pristine inviting beaches and geothermal highlights around Rotorua and Tauranga. Your ship will dock at one of the most popular holiday destinations in New Zealand. One of the best surfing beaches for the locals to enjoy. We leave the beaches traveling past Farmland, Forestry, Kiwi Fruit and Avocado Orchards heading towards Rotorua. Rotorua is fueled with boiling mud and bubbling hot springs where you will experience a unique wonder of the world, the first of its kind in NZ at Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa. Set on the foreshore of Lake Rotorua you will bathe in the healing waters, moving from heat to cool, mud to water and air to steam. You will indulge your senses on this restorative journey with waters from the earth and warm mud from our ponds. From here we will take a stroll through the Redwood Forrest, a wonderland for nature lovers, visit government gardens and see boiling steam ponds before returning back to your ship.
