With 5 drop off points covering 12 main attractions, you can choose what to do plus receive a 10% discount on entry fees to the major attractions.Departing Tauranga we pass through Te Puke - the kiwi fruit capital of the world, and through forests beside Lake Rotoiti and Lake Rotorua. Your driver/guide will provide information on the destinations you could visit in Rotorua and the best options.
There are 5 main stopping points in Rotorua and we circulate 4 times during the day. We also offer a final collection point at the Agrodome to fit in with their last show if needed. We then return to Tauranga by a different route, through forests, into deep gorges, past farms and kiwifruit orchards.
There is no obligation to visit any destination, just cruise on the coach, take a walk around as there are plenty of things to see for free, visit the shops, buy a picnic to enjoy by the lake front and much more.
The Rotorua Explorer visits the following 5 drop off and collection points:
1. Te Puia (also adjacent to Te Whakarewarewa thermal village, a 5-minute walk)
