Why take this tour?

After leaving Tauranga Port we tour downtown Mount Maunganui, a popular Kiwi holiday destination and it's stunning white sandy surf beach, voted best in New Zealand. We visit a kiwifruit orchard (3 billion-dollar horticultural industry in the region) Drive through lush farmland, native bush, pine forest plantations and scenic lakes district. New Zealand hinterland at its best. Arriving at Te Puia, see, smell & hear "Pohutu Geyser" the biggest geyser in the southern hemisphere, rumbling noisily as it erupts, a stream of steam and boiling water up to 30 meters (100ft) Marvel at the display of bubbling mud & hot water pools in a steaming volcanic landscape! All very safe. Experience a traditional Maori welcome, an entertaining cultural performance, and the fierce Haka. See NZ's iconic kiwi bird, pre-European Maori village, wood carving, and flax weaving. We explore Rotorua's lakefront, highlights, govt gardens, and historical architectural gem the Elizabethan Spa Bath House.
