“The guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the places he took us! He kept us entertained with his wit and expertise! The driver also added information as well and this gave us an extra insight into the areas that we visited! The Māori show was enjoyable and the guide was very passionate about his village and also very informative about their way of living! We also visited a kiwi fruit farm and the farmer informed us about the workings of his farm! We were even given a tasting of his fruit! Overall the day was great and we arrived back to the ship on time so no problem there!”

Cruise-friendly small-group Rotorua day trip from Tauranga, with geothermal sights, Kuirau foot baths, Redwoods treetop rope bridges, and glow worms.
“This is a tour to Rotorua where you will see some hot steaming lakes and can put your feet in hot spring water. Then there is a short visit to a Maori village where a lunch is offered, which consisted of a stuffed filo dough hot pocket. After that there is a visit to a canopy walk between redwoods. We found that the highlight of the tour. Quality of the guide was good and the bus was new, though very tight for the knees at some seats.”
