Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Mount Maunganui, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty Region, North Island

Our most notable feature and New Zealand's most walked track, our ancestral mountain, Mauao. Take in the views of our stunning harbour from the mountain tracks, hear stories of our Māori ancestors, find out what our tribes are doing to replenish the health of the mountain.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Pilot Bay, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga New Zealand

Mt Maunganui has two beaches with completely different characteristics. Pilot Bay is our "family" beach with calm waters tucked in behind the mountain, Mauao. Witness our everyday family life, bring togs and take a swim in our clean waters. This is where the waka ama canoes are stored, so you will see the Hoe Aroha Waka Ama Club.

Duration: 30 minutes

Pass By: Mt Maunganui Main Beach, Marine Parade, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga New Zealand

Rated No1 beach in New Zealand, Mt Maunganui's Main Beach stretches for miles with white sand and rolling surf. From our walk of Mauao, you will see the Main Beach and may decide to grab an ice-cream and kick your shoes off here after your experience with us!

Pass By: Mount Hot Pools, 9 Adams Avenue, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga 3116 New Zealand

Pools filled with salt water heated by undercurrents of thermal activity - this is our local healing waters. Take your pick on temperature, whether you want to boil your woes away in 35+ degrees, or simply have some fun in the large luke-warm pool. Again, another valid reason to bring your swimwear!

My mother always wanted to try and see if she would manage to paddleboard. So we were first timers. The lady helping us get sorted with the board hire was so lovely. She explained what we can and should do and went through some safety tips and some tips to get going. What a great experience.
