This engaging, eight-hour active shore excursion takes you on a journey to discover more about the Māori people and their culture, as well as enjoying some of the North Island's more luxurious pastimes.
Make yourself comfortable as your 90-minute drive takes you directly to Te Puia in the Whakarewarewa Valley. This natural wonder is considered a sacred place by the Māori people and is home to stunning geysers, mud pools and mineral springs. Walk the narrow trails past the geothermal features.
Lunch features some traditional kiwi cuisine, reflecting regional bounty.
The Polynesian Lake Spa Retreat welcomes you. It is one of New Zealand's leading international day spas and overlooks Sulphur Bay on Lake Rotorua. Soak in one of the wonderful four hot pools, which range in temperature from 96.8 to 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Relax in the private lounge with full bar facilities if you wish to purchase refreshments (at your own expense).
Unwind on a panoramic drive through kiwifruit country. Take in local orchards and farmland as you return to the coastal peninsula of Mt Maunganui and the Port of Tauranga.
Notes:
Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. The spa features luxury changing rooms, security lockers, towels, soap, shampoo, and hair dryers.
