Old fellas on touring trike for an hour. Steve, our 'Angel' , was fun and knew where all the road 'bumps' were. Saw the original port area, the waterfalls and the treaty grounds. Dropped us back at the wharf. Loads of photos for biker brigade.
Fun times

We really enjoyed this experience and had a great time with Steve. Would definitely recommend. My only issue was that we only had about 50 minutes on the bike and didn't venture that far, but what we did do was fab.
A safe adrenaline rush

We had a great ride on the thunder trike with our driver Andy. Things started out poorly, because we couldn't get off the cruise ship in time for our tour (we should have allowed more time due to tendering). We contacted the tour operator that we would be late, and they responded back and even sent our driver to the tendering dock, but we miss their message. We finally found them, but we were a half an hour late for our one-hour tour. No, worries, Andy piled us in and we took off in a hurry! I think we went even faster that usual because we were late. It was thrilling! Fast acceleration and turns. We went all around the peninsula, and he only had to cut out one stop. He gave us an extra 10-15 minutes. We still had time for photos at the lookout point at the end. A great, exciting tour!
Thrilling Ride

Thrilling ride viewing some sites around Paihia. Different experience from the usual tours on offer. Operators easy to communicate with. Would recommend doing along with a ferry to Russell if visiting for the day from a cruise ship.
Thrilling

This was a great tour. A top way to see the nearby coast and sea views as well as being pretty exhilarating. Our driver was really friendly and knowledgeable. We thought we were going to be late to our tour so I called and they were great”no problems, turn up when you can and we will sort it out”
Just do it
