5.00A very enjoyable tour. We were 20 minutes early but the rest were even earlier, so we started the tour 15 minutes early. Covered a lot of the area from different spots around the coastline and viewpoints. Russel, the owner, obviously knew his stuff so was very informative. The kiwi fruit tasting may sound underwhelming, but it capped the tour off. Tasted three different types, plus avocado and avocado oils, and local spicy sauces. All this at a kiwi plantation where you see them on the plants.
This was a very good tour...

5.00This excursion covered all the bases. We had a ride through beautiful countryside, had a marvelous and informative guide name Saskia, and we got to visit a kiwi farm/orchard. The folks at the visitor center very likely get tired of serving tea and biscuits to visitors, but they were all just lovely. A group of Maori dancers and singers entertained us, which was a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough good things about the delicious gold strain of kiwi fruit. It is not as sweet as a green kiwi, which I liked about it. Plus the golden kiwi was developed with an edible skin. I doubt I will ever get to try the newest strain of kiwi, which has a red center, but maybe some day. For now, I’ll be looking for the golden kiwi!
A good day out

4.00A nice day out. We saw a number of areas we had not seen, tasted some samples and saw a beautiful view of the area from up high. Our host was knowledgable and personable and able to answer our questions easily and with interest.
Feeling disappointed

3.00We feel very let down and disappointed in this tour as we did not have the tea tasting nor did we stop at the cafe pointed out to us by the driver as we drove past as it was closed. I would expect a professional tour company to make sure the establishments we were meant to visit were in fact open for business and not closed. After several requests to visit a souvenir shop we were dropped in Tauranga town and made to make our own way back to ship well before the conclusion of the tour.
So good

5.00Pick up was perfect. Mini bus was really comfortable. And our tour guide, Russell, was so articulate and interesting. So it all added up to an excellent trip
