  Tour was ok. You can't do it, it shouldn't be a negative assessment, but only my conclusion of the tour.Of lonely coastal landscape , as in the program photo, was not to be seen.Fahrer was very hard, has told a lot. Kiwi plantation ,was a 5 minute stop by the roadside.Coffee break and kiwi and hpnig tasting was in a beautiful park,after visiting the waterfalls.Tour has taken 4.5 h. For the price it was good value for money.

  The Tauranga Shore Excursion was very good value for money. Steve our tour guide was very informative. We visited some lovely spots, and enjoyed some beautiful treats to eat. Highly recommend this tour.

  This was wonderful tour, I believe her name was Jane. She was great guide and driver. We were there back in March 2025. Very enjoyable tour, she treated us to ice cream at the end of the tour.

  The driver and guide Duncan told us a lot about Tauranga, we got stops to try on coffee and cone, kiwi that we haven’t seen in Canada, we had a great time and enjoyed the tour and great to have Duncan.

  Fantastic introduction to Tauranga and the surrounding areas. Jan C our driver and tour guide for the day was knowledgeable, friendly and very entertaining. The afternoon tea at the Falls Cafe was delicious, a passion fruit curd muffin to die for. The staff were very friendly and efficient ensuring all of us on the tour bus were served in a timely manner. At the waterfalls Jan presented us with a tasting table of assorted kiwi fruit and honey. The red kiwi was delicious. On the way back to the ship we had one more stop for an ice cream... Hokey Pokey... yummy 😋 One of the best tours we have ever been on. Highly recommend this experience if you are in Tauranga and if you are fortunate enough to have Jan C as your guide you will be in for a memorable day.

  Our driver/guide, Duncan, provided a most informative commentary for the duration of the tour. After a tour of Mt Maunganui and Tauranga the first stop was at the site of a battle in the Māori Wars. Interesting place, the highlight being the Paus at the entrance to area. Along the way we were told about the history and development of the Kiwi Fruit industry. A photo stop at McLaren Falls before heading for lunch of a huge muffin at a cafe in the park. A short drive after lunch and we were dropped off at the start of an easy walk to a pretty, but not spectacular, waterfall. On returning to the drop off point we found Duncan had set up ready to tell us more about Kiwi Fruit and local honey. There were samples of Golden and Red Kiwi Fruit to taste. Looking forward to being able to buy those locally. Different grades of honey were also available for tasting. On the way bake to the port Duncan stopped and provided ice cream for all on board. Very tasty it was too. A very well spent five hours or so.

  A wonderful sightseeing experience of over 4 hours hosted by Jan. we visited numerous places and saw some magnificent countryside. The views from the mountain side were amazing. Thie tour included a stop at a garden centre for refreshments. The tea/coffee was very nice, and the scones, jam and cream were delicious. We experienced the taste of Manuka honey and sampled the Kiwi fruit after visiting a scenic waterfall. the ice cream on the return journey was really tasty. This tour exceeded our expectations and is unbelievable value for money. The scenery and countryside are so pretty. Jan, you are a brilliant host. The vehicle was top shelf, and it was obvious that the group were responding to your personality. Thankyou for giving us such a great tour.

  Wow! What a fabulous tour which gave us a wonderful overview of Tauranga. Our guide, Jan was just so impressive. Her commentary was so informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the morning tea of scones and the chance to savour the taste of kiwi fruit and Manuka honey.

  Probably the most boring shore excursion for five hours that we ever experienced. We sat on the bus for 15 minutes in the heat, waiting for the driver Duncan to arrive with the remaining guests, instead of putting on the air conditioner for us. Then we drove through what the brochure said was the cultural part which included McDonald’s, a type of Home Depot and other businesses like those to arrive at a park, that was a very small grassy area and then we got back on the bus. The bus stopped alongside a kiwi field, where you can see kiwis growing on top of the fence along the road. And then we left town to see very small waterfalls, have a muffin and a cup of tea at the top of the mountain, which was certainly not worth it. We went for a walk without a guide to another area, which had a brook and a waterfall, very small. Then we stood around a picnic table, where the guide let us taste the kiwi and some honey from a jar. There were bees flying all over. I do not suggest this tour. There was nothing that the guy told us that was interesting.
