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
