Sit back on a lazy sunday afternoon and soak in the sun, listening to interesting commentary on points of interest, with an iced beverage from the onboard bar in hand.
Tauranga Harbour is extensive and includes a mixture of high intensity Port facilities and contrasting quiet coastal villages, forests, open sandy beaches and bays of many coves. The cruise travels through Port of Tauranga (considered New Zealands largest export port and largest port by volume).
