NEW ZEALAND · SHORE EXCURSIONS IN TAURANGA
The good shore excursions in Tauranga go early and the great ones go earlier. Here are 4 to lock in before you land, what is included and how they differ.
Review of Tauranga’s Rotorua Highlights shore excursion, with Māori culture, geysers, kiwi tasting, timing advice, price, and practical tips.
“A wonderful excursion. Loved the living village and our tour guide Jessie who was very knowledgeable. The kiwi farm was very interesting and the fruit we sampled delicious. Thanks to all.”
Review of Tauranga’s Rotorua shore excursion, with geothermal pools, Māori culture, kiwi country, glow worms, and the Redwoods Treewalk.
“This is a tour to Rotorua where you will see some hot steaming lakes and can put your feet in hot spring water. Then there is a short visit to a Maori village where a lunch is offered, which consisted of a stuffed filo dough hot pocket. After that there is a visit to a canopy walk between redwoods. We found that the highlight of the tour. Quality of the guide was good and the bus was new, though very tight for the knees at some seats.”
Review of the 6-hour Hobbiton shore excursion from Tauranga, with transport, tour highlights, costs, walking tips, timing, and cruise advice.
“Had a great time from boarding the bus at the port to getting on the Hobbiton bus. Gary was very good talking story on the drive to Hobbiton and Anna was awesome guiding us thru the movie set.”
Explore Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, and a kiwifruit orchard on a four-hour small-group shore tour with local tastings and port pickup.
“Great!! Russell was so informative and friendly. The kiwi/avscado tasting 8n the kiwi orchard that he set up, was just the best!”
Sorted by what you actually want to do that morning.
