We arrived by ship, we booked Zealander tours ourselves. We were advised where to meet and as promised, they were there to greet us. Our guide Steve was a really nice guy full of lots of info along the way. Steve had a great sense of humour and we had a lot of laughs. The Te Puia Maori Cultural Centre was a great experience, the geysers were a sight to see, amazing geothermal park. Great talk on the Maori history. Then onto the Polynesian Spa. We had Deluxe tickets, so got sat in some beautiful natural mineral baths and gaze over the lake. Steve bought us our lunch, arranged a pick up time and was there at the agreed time to pick us up, we had plenty of time in the pools. As we were ahead of schedule, he took us to some additional places. We saw the Redrock Treewalk and he took us to an area with beautiful waterfalls. On the way back to the ship we were keen to see Tauranga's beach area on opposite side of the port. Steve was more than happy to take us there. Absolutley beautiful beaches , cafes bars etc. Unfortunately being on a cruise, only one day here. Steve made sure we were back in plenty of time to board the ship. Five star experience with Steve. Excellent day! Thanks Steve!
