Tauranga Shore Excursion: Wairoa River Kayak Tour

Once your cruise ship docks at Tauranga Harbour, embark on another kind of water adventure with a relaxing kayak ride along the Wairoa River. Grab your swimsuits and towels and take off with your expert guide to learn about the fertile stretch of New Zealand's North Island. As you drift along the upper reaches of the Wairoa River, spot an old timber mill and learn about how locals transported kauri logs along this route in the 1800s. Stop on a river bank for cheese and fruit, and take in the quiet beauty before heading back toward land.
