Pick up from Ports of Tauranga and travel 40 mins to Okere Falls.
Walk down through our native forest to the waterfall that is on the Kaituna River – you may be lucky enough to see some of our local rafters coming over the fall. Next travel into town and head out to visit 3 of our lakes. Stop at the lookout between Blue and Green lakes. Stop at Tarawera Lake lookout for picture opportunities and visit Rangiruru Bay to take some pics on the jetty.
Travel into town and walk through the Redwood Forest at your own leisure. At your own expense you can take a tour through the forest from above (this takes 45 minutes). Redwoods Treewalk offers suspended bridges high amongst the trees, adorned with intricate wooden lanterns and history of the trees on each platform between the trees.
Head to Rotorua Lakefront/Sulphur Point, take a stroll through Government Gardens, wander through Kuirau Park, and have a foot soak in the heated foot pools and take in the bubbling mud pools.

We were met by Carleen at the Port of Tauranga. She is a passionate local with alot of local knowledge. She took us to the local falls where white river rafting was happening, introduced us to various native plants used by the indigenous, showed us the silver fern, took us to the Blue Lake and Green Lake and the Red Wood Forest as well as Sulphur Point and the Botanic Gardens to see the mud pools and hot water pools where you could soak your feet. We also heard stories about the pink and white terraces that once adorned Mt Tarawera.

We had a great time visiting some of the beautiful spots around Tauranga. The tour company and driver were accommodating and flexible. Our guide was very friendly and provided many insights into the areas visited as well and lifestyle of local citizens.

This was one of the highlights of our New Zealand stops. Peter was a great guide. All the stops were more beautiful than the next. I highly recommend.

Loved all the stops and little hikes along the way, so much better than the excursions offered by the ship and we even had time to explore Tauranga by foot afterwards
