Our journey kicks off with a scenic drive around the Mount area, crossing the iconic Harbour Bridge and passing by historic landmarks like the Elms Mission House and the Old Post Office nestled in Tauranga's city centre. Immerse yourself in the lush landscapes as we drive you past the Kiwi & Avocado orchards (time permitting a brief stop) before ascending to the breathtaking Scenic Lookout.
From there, soak in the sweeping panoramic views of the Coromandel, with the distant silhouette of Whakaari / White Island completing the sceneOn your return lies the charming township of Mount Maunganui, beckoning you to explore its delightful array of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. Take a stroll around Mauao, the bay, or the picturesque
Mount Main Beach.
Throughout the tour, we'll make a single stop at the lookout for an unforgettable photo opportunity.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Tauranga City & Scenic tour that we did on our recent cruise. The bus was there waiting for us and we saw some beautiful places and scenery on this tour, places we would not have seen if we did this on our own. The bus driver was very informative but unfortunately on the day of our tour, his microphone was not working properly and the people at the back of the bus could not hear him. I would certainly recommend this tour.
I would also like to say a big thank you Kathryn for all you did to make this tour possible for us, especially with me mucking the dates up and all you did to rectify this for me.

Great excursion. Would have given it 5 stars except that the minibus was somewhat cramped for my 6’2” frame.

MARTIN was a great tour guide who seemed to know lots about this area and its cultural history. Pretty good for a Londoner 😄 And … my husband and I didn’t mind at all that we couldn’t sit alongside each other. People on the bus were friendly and that’s what counts 😉

We stopped here day trip with Carnival cruise. We paid $340 for 4 adults and 2 children.
We couldn’t even sit with my children and my old parents. I felt terrible and worried my children. Everyone sat separately.
Waste money and time.
They must organise seat so family can sit together.
I asked the lady working there, she said people come fisrt, sit first.
Terrible memories. We weren’t happy at all!

Well worth a trip out. Excellent knowledgeable driver. Got to places where you wouldn’t normally go to. When on a cruise you need to maximise your land time and this trip does that.

We had a great time in Tauranga. Thank you so much to Kathryn. I had a large group and with Kathryn's help we were able to make special arrangement so that we are grouped together, making our Tauranga experiance more efficient, fun and memorable. I highly recommend this tour, most expecially for a large group or family. The tour operator is very responsive and accomodating. This Shore Excursion is also very cost effective.
