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.

Here’s a polished version of your review that you could use for something like TripAdvisor or a travel blog: ⸻ Wonderful Day Trip to Tauranga and Rotorua We had a lovely day trip exploring Tauranga and Rotorua! Everything was well-organized, and we were conveniently picked up and dropped off right at the cruise terminal. The guide provided just the right amount of information—helpful without being overwhelming. A great way to see the highlights of the region in a short time. Highly recommend.

Nice tour around the Rotorua area. Some stops more exciting than others. On and off the bus many times but beautiful stop at the Whakarewarewa Forest.
Restful Day

We loved the Redwood Forest and being out in nature. However there were quite a few steps on one of the walks.

This was an awesome tour! Linda was our tour guide. We traveled with friends and family.. our elderly mother was with us and Linda was very patient and kind towards her. The most exciting part of the tour was the cave and the waterfall! The walk through the Redwood forest was calming and peaceful! Such a lovely experience. Linda’s assistant Maisy was an excellent tour guide during this tour! We saw a lot for this six hour scenic tour!.. definitely worth the money!
Very enjoyable tour
