Te Puia & Explore Rotorua Day Tour

Te Puia & Explore Rotorua Day Tour

Embark on a scenic and immersive day trip with our luxury, air-conditioned vehicle, where we'll pick you up directly from the Port of Tauranga (located in Mount Maunganui).

Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the charming Mount Maunganui township, before heading towards the stunning lakes region of Rotorua. Along the way, you'll visit the enchanting Redwood Forest and catch a glimpse of the iconic 'silver fern', a proud symbol of New Zealand.

Next, we’ll take you to Rotorua’s famous geothermal wonderland, Te Puia. Renowned for its dramatic geysers, bubbling mud pools, and lush native bush, Te Puia is a must-see destination. The site is also home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, where you can experience traditional Māori culture up close. Don't miss the state-of-the-art Kiwi Conservation Centre, where you’ll have the rare opportunity to get close to New Zealand's beloved Kiwi bird.

As you explore, you'll also witness the fascinating boiling mud pools and hot mineral springs and be welcomed with a traditional Māori greeting. To round off the experience, enjoy an action-packed cultural concert.

After a day of exciting exploration, we'll return you to your ship in Tauranga with ample time to board. You'll leave with a camera full of photos and a heart full of happy memories from your guided tour in Rotorua.
