• Longer Time Hiking Than Expected

  Due to some damage from a storm, the itinerary was changed but we were OK with that. We know that there would be hiking, but it was longer than expected as it was billed as a "Scenic Short Hike Tour". Going to the McClaren Falls was quick and easy as was the walk arounf the lake. However, the final hike was over an hour and involved stepping around lots of roots and going up and down hills in the jungle-like terrain. I ended up with 18.000 steps and over 7 miles on my Fitbit. Most of what we saw there was pretty much the same things so it could have been covered in 15-20 minutes. There was also a bit of confusion as we got to the meeting point at the end of the cruise pier about 30 minutes before it started. We were told to wait there until the 11:00 am start time which we did. When that time arrived, we were told where the van was in the parking lot. When we found it, all of the other passengers were already in their seats and the only open ones were in the last row. I sat back there and we asked the driver/guide if my wife could sit next to him in the front as she would have had a very difficult time trying to get to a back seat. It turned out OK, but we wondered why he didn't allow us to get to the van earlier since we were there well before the start time. We could recommend it to people if they knew how much hiking there would be.

  Russell was an informative and helpful guide. We took great hikes in a small group of 10 folks. He pointed out multiple varieties of birds and vegetation.

• Fantastic day at the falls and bush.

  This tour was AMAZING! Our tour guide was informational, interesting, and so funny! We only had my husband and I on the tour so it was a little more informal which I loved! We got to see so much around the Bay of Plenty from the beaches to the forests. The hike was mostly level with a few slightly steep trails but they were not for long. Would recommend to anyone who likes easy and beautiful hikes!

  Well planned and executed tour. The guide, Lloydy was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. There was enough time at every stop to do and see. Due to local conditions, a hike through Puketon Preserve was substituted for the Papamoa Hills section due to local conditions. The substituted hike was amazing. McLaren Falls walk was approx 1/4 mile on an easy path. the preserve hike was about 2 miles and was moderate up and down, uneven trail at times with steps at the steeper sections. There were restrooms at both locations. The lunch stop (pay on your own) was at a local cafe with very good food and many choices. $$ Bring water and snacks; temps can be cool, so bring layers. Loved this tour!

  

  

  

  

• Walking in Paradise!

  We took this tour as an excursion from the cruise port. They were very easy to locate right outside of the pier. We enjoyed a fabulous day with Tracy our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about his home town area. Once in the park, the walk to McLaren Falls was on an easy path, and Tracy pointed out many plants and their purposes. He even found some glow worms to show us along the way. We then stopped at an overlook of the Bay of Plenty for photos, then continued to a small boutique Cafe for lunch on our own. Service was fast and the food delicious! Due to a very bad storm a couple months ago that damaged the originally planned walking track, the next portion of the hike was changed to the Puketoki Reserve aka "The Bush". This trail was more narrow with mild to medium elevation changes, and the roots required more attention when hiking. The trail was shaded by the towering trees and ferns and it was a wonderful way to spend an hour immersed in this beautiful lush country, just what we had hoped to do! We would highly recommend this experience!
