Active Tauranga cruise ship travellers need look no further to add a little adventure into their cruise itinerary. You'll still want time to sip champagne and watch the sunset from the deck chair but more and more cruise ship passengers are equally enthusiastic about seeing NZ away from the crowds and having a unique experience to take home.
That's why Waimarino Kayak tours have designed half day kayak tour packages specifically to help cruise ship passengers get the most out of their brief stay upon arriving at the Port of Tauranga. We offer a thrilling way to explore the real Bay of Plenty, kayaking on beautiful New Zealand lakes and rivers. And because most of our kayak tours are less than 4 hours long, they're a great option when you've got limited time.
Waimarino Kayak Tours run organised cruise ship kayak tours in Tauranga and Rotorua so you can enjoy a picturesque paddle on the tranquil Wairoa River with a personal guide and gourmet refreshments or a scenic kayak on stunning Lake McLaren. You could also visit the exciting Waimarino Adventure Park or for those with a little more time to spend, see thermal hot pools and a glow worm cave at Lake Rotoiti.
Whatever Tauranga cruise ship tour you choose, you can relax and focus on the experience, knowing your kayaking package includes transport to and from the ship. We'll get you back on board in plenty of time - with a smile from the day on your face and carrying a little piece of Tauranga in your heart.
Have a look at the range of half day Tauranga shore excursions offered by the experienced team at Waimarino Kayak Tours. They're a unique NZ experience and a wonderful way to explore Tauranga's beautiful outdoors.
If you are heading to Tauranga on a cruise ship, another tourist activity that shouldn't be overlooked is a White Island tour by helicopter, operated by Aerius Helicopters in Mt Maunganui.
