Excellent port. The people were great and our excursion took us to visit a Kiwi farm, the geo thermal park and Maori people, Rotorua and the Redwoods along with an amazing lunch. Informative and Educational.

We did the tour to the Maori cultural center and thermal feature area. The bus driver was informative and showed us other sites of the area. The buffet lunch served at the cultural center was great. The ships chefs could go there to get some tips. The cultural center was excellent. The geo-thermal area was okay. Hard to compare to Yellowstone.

Highlights of Taurana & Māori Culture Tour Very disorganized. 30 min bus ride in hot weather with no air and no open windows. Went to a school for a show. 30 min late so stood around. Went to a MĀORI Village which was really their community center now. Sat in sun to hear them speak. Did not enjoy it.

Best stop of the cruise. Walked around the town of Mt Maunganui where the ship docks. Did the 45 minute walk around the base of the headland which had great views of the beaches and the ship.
