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 destination and activities.
Your driver/guide knows all the best places to visit, and can take you to places the larger cruise ship tours coaches can't visit. You could combine a visit to Rotorua with the Hobbiton movie set near Matamata, or go to the Waitomo Glow worm caves. A distance surcharge will apply for the Waitomo Caves.
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.
