Tauranga Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"A bus driver and tour guide was great explanation for everything. Even though people don't remember stories exactly, everyone enjoy this place."

"Iwe can not express high enough how wonderful this tour was for us. Steven our guide was brilliant. Hobbiton was fabulous. Went with Zealander tours afte ship cancelled our reservations. So glad we did price was 20% less than cruse ship. We booked online ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Maori guide walked us through his village and answered everyone’s questions, learned so much about Maori culture. Never felt rushed. Loved seeing the geothermal pools."

"Wonderful adventure! Enjoyed even in the rain. The Mauri show was great. The thermal pools so interesting"

"Rolf was a great guide! The tour was also enjoyable and entertaining. I would recommend for anyone who is a LOTR fan."

"Jane was great! Our ship was delayed by 1.5hours - but the tour still accommodated all of us. Even with the compressed schedule, we were shown all the places, albeit a bit rushed(no fault of the tour). The knowledge of the guide was great!"

"Our driver, Amanda, who drove us from Mt. Maunganui to Hobbiton and our tour guide Braden did a great job. Very enjoyable day. Would recommend it to any Hobbit fans."

"It was the best day. The Te Puia Maori Cultural Centre - the Maori welcome, the show - absolutely wonderful. Walking around the hot springs, visiting the work studios, wood carving etc. excellent. Our tour guide made the experience even better. Rotorua is such a lovely place. Tauranga is beautiful. Thoroughly recommend doing this tour."

"Friendly, easy to find, full of helpful information. Really enjoyed the day! There is a little bit of walking on uneven ground but we are not particularly fit and had no issues. Beautiful scenery"

"The whole day was memorable, and although we have toured in this area before, this was a much better tour. It was relaxed, informative and allowed us to see the best of Rotorua. Our driver Kerry was friendly and very approachable and shared his vast store of information and experience of this wonderful region."

"Great tour with Simon. He was very knowledgeable and took us to Rotorua, Redwoods and Māori village past Kiwi fruit"

"Loved the Te Puia cultural show and learning about the culture. Being able to actually see a kiwi bird was amazing."

"It was amazing to see the glowworms in the caves, particularly on the boat ride in the dark. We were also lucky to see a baby Kiwi bird that was only a few days old! It would be even better, if the vehicle's air conditioning were working!"

"Hannah and the team did a great job guiding us and being patient with me as it was my first time kayaking. Overall, I felt like I learned a new skill and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to try something new and cool!"

"Our guide, Jan, was knowledgeable and a good driver. She answered all questions. We were driven to mulsights and had the right amount time out of the vehicle to explore. I was disappointed that the excursion description said we would be visiting a bee farm. We didn't get to go but, Jan held her own honey taste testing lesson, which was great."

"Patrick was the best tour guide, got an early start, we had plenty of time. Enjoyed the commentary, he answered all questions and made sure we knew where we were going. The whole was outstanding!! Thank you!"

"Thanks, Kerry, for a wonderfully enjoyable and informative day tour. Arrow Tours was already at the front gate of the cruise port in Tauranga when the ship arrived. We only had four of us on the minibus due to others not being well. We travelled many miles, firstly through the Mt Maunganui area and then with stops along the way, firstly to Lake Tarawera, long ago formed by volcanic activity, where we had a 15-minute coffee break at the lake’s café with stunning views, and nearby the Blue and Green Lakes. We travelled to picturesque Rotorua with steaming sulphur geysers, where we were entertained at the Whakarewarewa Māori Village with their cultural stories and dance. Lucky to have a small crowd at our visiting time we were able to become more personally involved. Next was a lunch stop (lunch was buy your own) at a pleasant café where they served the best milkshakes ever😉. Our final stop was at the redwood forest. We had great weather on the day so we all enjoyed it immensely. Thanks again to Kerry for his great yarns and informative knowledge of his local area and the culture."

"Wicked Wanders tour in Tauranga new Zealand. Hosted by Russell who was informative and genial. Great selection of city, beach and country sights and tastes"

"Great experience, awesome crew, it was one of my best tours ever!!! I enjoyed the trip, the dolphin watching, best were the baby’s with their mother!"

"Absolutely great, strongly recommend! Never did rafting before and loved it! Watch out on sitting at the front - usually these people fell off during the waterfalls"

"Russell was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the gardens and various stops around Tauranga. Kiwi tasting was a nice touch!"
