Tauranga 2026 Calendar of Events

Amazing experience. Our guide Pete made is so exciting and entertaining that my fear of water didn't stop me to go ahead and have fun.

Our guide, Cole, really made us feel safe and involved so we got the most out of our experience. The river is incredible, I felt like I was in another world. This is a genuine kiwi experience that I could not recommend highly enough.

Had a hobbit of a time on the tour of the movie set our tour guide Gabriella was amazing she had a great experience of knowledge and a bundle of joy and humor any one thinking of visiting New Zealand is a must

We had an amazing kayaking experience at Lake McLaren. Since it was just me, my wife, and our guide, it felt like a private tour, making the whole experience relaxed and personal. The lake was beautiful, calm, and surrounded by stunning scenery.A big thank you to Uchi for being such an entertaining, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. He made the trip enjoyable with his great sense of humor, interesting stories, and local knowledge. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and memorable outdoor adventure. Thanks again, Uchi!

One of the best tours we did in New Zealand. Excellent guide, varied itinerary, small group. Thoroughly recommend this tour

Interesting self guided tour of the geo thermal landscape. Beautiful interesting scenery very surreal Landscape

Tim, aka Mr. Avocado, is a great host and tour guide. We picked this tour because it is different than the normal tour; visiting a working avocado farm to learn about the fruit, trees, growing seasons, markets, and competition was fascinating. We learned so much, tasted so much, and enjoyed it so much!! We got to ride the avocado-picker 20 feet in the air, making for a great photo-op. We concluded the visit with a tasting of his Guacamole, avocado pesto, a brownie, 5 avocado oils, and a surprise treat! We purchased 6 bottles of his oils (less costly than in the grocery store). This was the best tour of our entire week in New Zealand. Forget 5 stars; this should easily be 10 or more.

Great value, flexible for cruise ships passengers

Excellent kayak tour. Our guide was wonderful and informative, we had an awesome morning. The weather was absolutely perfect for it also.

This was a fantastic tour that was well worth the money. We loved all the stops. Who knew there was red kiwi fruit?

We had a fabulous time. The tour was well organized. We really enjoyed our guide Allen. He was very informative and kept us on schedule.

This tour was outstanding! Our great tour guide Alan, was absolutely fantastic, and made our tour all that much better! Great day, 100% recommend!

One of the best tours in New Zealand in my opinion, beautiful lakes, hot lava and a cafe stop, with a most excellent, gracious and hilarious host Danny!!

It was interesting to see how a volcano can leave the earth in ways we would never think of. Be ready for the natural sulfur smell. It is very strong. It was nice to experience the natural hot springs by dipping our feet into the water. The California Redwoods were huge. We got to even see how kiwi’s grow. Our guide Greg was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and very personable. He provided snack and water on our trip.

I had a private tour with Erin and it was a great experience. She took me to a lot of highlights which were pretty awesome. The weather was super great and I enjoyed it any minute of the tour.

Wonderful tour and great way to see the highlights of Tauranga. The scenery is beautiful and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and a great entertainer! Definitely recommend.
