Overview of your Tauranga tour:

Go First Class - Exclusive Small Group Private Tours. Your adventure begins as soon as I pick you up from the Tauranga port entry/exit gates. I will show you our best hot spots, highlights, hidden secrets, starting with a tour of Mount Maunganui surf beach, voted best in New Zealand, passing through picturesque countryside, dairy farms, Kiwi fruit orchards, pine plantations, waterfalls, the lakes district as we make our way to Whakarewarewa Living Māori Village Experience living in a Māori village. The villagers have built their homes amongst erupting geysers, boiling mud, steam vents, and hot pools. Using natural geothermal resources they cook, bathe and heat their homes. As you walk amongst the wonders of the Whakarewarewa Valley, our Māori guide explains the history of the village, where the Tuhourangi / Ngati Wahiao tribe has lived for over 200 years. See Pohutu the biggest active geyser in the southern hemisphere erupting boiling steam and water up to 100 feet. Plenty to see and do on this tour!

After pick up, we tour downtown Mount Maunganui, a popular Kiwi holiday destination and surf beach, voted best in New Zealand. We drive through lush dairy farms, kiwifruit orchards, pine forests, and scenic lakes arriving at the Redwood Forest, and taking a short stroll amongst the majestic tree ferns and towering 70 feet high Redwoods. At Whakarewarewa Maori Village, see the world-famous Pohutu Geyser erupting up to 100 feet an awesome, spectacular sight amongst a background of bubbling mud pools, boiling mineral pools, silica terraces and surrounded by a steaming volcanic landscape.

We explore downtown Rotorua's highlights, wonderful Government Gardens before returning to Tauranga Port via a different route crossing Tauranga's harbor bridge and returning safely, on time, on board to your waiting ship. I have never missed a ships departure time!
