Overview
***ALL OUR TOURS START & END TO FIT THE CRUISE SHIPS' ARRIVAL & SAILING TIMES***
Rotorua is the 2nd most visited city in New Zealand by all tourists. As you only have a small window of opportunity to visit we have created an itinerary to showcase some of what we think makes this place so special. The two main interests which make people visit is Maori Culture & Geothermal Activity. This tour showcases the area where your ship is docked (Mount Maunganui) before we depart for the city of Rotorua. Enroute we showcase all which creates the namesake of the Bay of Plenty. Arriving at Rotorua's only Living Maori Village of its kind - Whakarewarewa - you will receive a traditional welcome and invited by a local to join them on a guided tour of this unique place. A village which lives on top of an active geothermal valley and has learnt to harness the powers of mother nature to aid their daily living needs for 100's of year. See geysers, steaming fumaroles , bubbling hot pools and much more.

farla3.0Apr 2024The excursion would be wonderful if you didn’t have to go to a food court in a mall for lunch. A sit down authentic lunch would make the tour perfect. Our driver John and hostess Jan were the best. All stops were very interesting but the lunch stop put a damper on the day.A full day that flew by
dougd0475.0Apr 2024The maori village and their 40 minute song and dance presentation. Stephen, our guide, was filled with information about everything we saw as we traveled along. Waterfalls, visiting kiwi fields, sampling kiwi juice, and tasting the different kiwi fruits. Stephen made every presentation filled with in depth information a joy to listen to.Just When You Thought you Did It All & Seen It All, Then You Have Life Moment !?
