Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Mt Maunganui Main Beach, Marine Parade, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga New Zealand
Look out over the iconic Mount main beach, the most popular summer destination for local New Zealanders and discover the history of this area called The Bay of plenty
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Te Puke, Te Puke, Bay of Plenty Region, North Island
We visit one of the original Kiwi orchards in this, the Kiwifruit growing capital of the world. We’re certain you’ll be impressed to see how laden these vines are with fruit and the intense husbandry and care that goes into growing them - in part because they are such a valuable part of our local economy.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village, 17 Tryon Street Whakarewarewa Village, Rotorua 3010 New Zealand
Entry is included into this historic world renowned bubbling geothermal village where local Maori still live today. You will be impressed by a storming 40 minute cultural performance where you will be entertained by the local Māori entertainment troupe with their natural gift for music and dance and a stomping good version of the Haka, a once seen, never forgotten war dance. The Tūhourangi Ngāti Wāhiao village people have a proud history of sharing their stories, song and dance spanning over a century, being the iwi (tribe) that originally guide tourists at the Pink and White Terraces before it was buried in the Mt Tarawera eruption. We may be able to sneak a peek at the famous Pohutu and Prince of Wales Feathers geysers which put on a natural (but unpredictable time wise) display of hot gushing groundwater heated by the geothermal activity beneath it.

We travel towards the centre of the North Island if time allows (this trip will add an additional 45 minutes to our drive time) to view the wonderful boiling mud pools, mesmerising and hypnotic to look at and a favourite of two of your experienced guides.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Polynesian Spa, Hinemoa Street, Rotorua 3010 New Zealand
Soak in the soothing mineral waters or a mud massage only found in Rotorua. This is in a wonderful setting, but we really do recommend this as a winter attraction as most of the 10 or so natural hot mineral pools are at or close to body temperature.
