  We had an enjoyable day with our guide/driver Terry for our smaller group (20) in a comfortable van . We able to explore all as described; we headed out via a beautiful memorial park stop to Te Puna to take in panoramic views, enjoying a delicious cappuccino and fresh muffin while ducks were nearby. This was followed by an optional trek on rainforest path to climb up in McClaren Falls - you need a decent level of fitness to take this on - then we stopped near the road to get a close-up view of kiwis growing on the vine and finished with a stop at a roadside shop to sample the delicious local ice cream - a refreshing break! An enjoyable day. The tour did go over time but that did not effect a timely return to our ship.

  This was a wonderful way to see a variety of things. McLaren Falls park being a highlight of sheer beauty. Our Guide was fun and informative, the kiwifruit was tasty and the ice cream rated a 10, even from our world traveler sister. We took our tour guides advice to walk around the volcano base in the harbor where every ten steps there was a new fantastic view!

• Great, Personalized Tour

  We had a fantastic tour with Marina. She was very knowledgeable about the area and she took us to every place advertised in the tour description plus so much more. She allowed time for my husband to walk in the water so he could say he was in the Pacific Ocean; she stopped for clean, bathroom breaks; our muffins and tea were excellent; she allowed extra time for me to make the trek to the waterfall; we had a delightful picnic of fresh kiwi, kiwi juice, and honey; and she dashed into a dairy store to get ice cream for us to eat while stuck in traffic. We could not have asked for a more personalized tour.

  Terry our tour guide was entertaining, knowledgable and keen to answer any questions. The afternoon tea was wonderful, kiwi fruit and honey tasting. The scenery and waterfall walk was great. A surprise icecream stop before returning to the ship.

  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.
