- Whatever you want - you can choose the itinerary
From Cruise Port: Tauranga-Rotorua
The itinerary is down to you, decide what you want to do on the day or let us create a full itinerary including the destinations and activities.
Your driver/guide knows all the best places to visit and can take you to places the larger cruise ship tour coaches cannot visit.
You could combine a visit to Rotorua with the Hobbiton movie set near Matamata, or go to the Waitomo Glow worm caves [distance surcharge applies for Waitomo].
For that really special day out why not visit one of the world famous 6 star luxury lodges close to Tauranga for a memorable lunch, such as Huka Lodge or Treetops Lodge.
Like the idea of a Private Tour but there are just a few of you, then why not share the costs, just place a message on our "Tour Share" facility to find others on your ship to join you. You will first need to Register and create a "My Cruise" account. You could also post on sites like Cruise Critic or FaceBook.
