About This Tour
Pass by kiwifruit orchards and lakes as we drive you to the nearby town of Rotorua. Learn about the real New Zealand as we explore the hinterland in a small group. Visit The amazing Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland-New Zealand's best geothermal experience! Be guided through this dramatic and unique park and witness the Lady Knox Geyser. Buy your lunch at the cafe here- "hangi" pasties recommended! Next you choose between 2 locations: 1. The awe-inspiring Redwood Forest; Experience the cool and calm created by this unique ecosystem, either by taking a free ground walk, or upgrading to the Canopy Treetop Walk: Traversing the swing bridges and walkways high in the forest is one of our absolute favourites! 2. For those not so keen on heights, take time out in a private forest hot tub (extra charge), complete with drinks on tap! Alternatively just enjoy the free foot-soaks.. "shinny dips". Finally we make our way back to Tauranga, in plenty of time for your ship.
