“Great place to come for a swim or for a good short hike. Walk is about 10min downhill and 15min back up the hill. Quite a steep climb with certain slippery areas and points that require nimble movement. Avoid on rainy days and days following heavy rainfall as either the path will be extremely slippery or the current streaming down the crossing will prove difficult to cross if wanting to swim.”

The party room hire for an hour was just what we needed for them to play, eat and celebrate with cake.. thanks team for a great day. It went extremely well!! the kids left chuffed and full of excitement, and the adults left feeling very proud of there adventurous, happy children.”

“We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.”

“A great pharmacy right next to the best doctors in town. They are prompt with filling prescriptions, if they don't have it in stock they can order it in to arrive in a few hours. They send text reminders when your repeats are ready. Always friendly, polite and all around excellent service. The young man named Jackson went above and beyond to provide a very high level of customer service to me. Very much appreciated!”

“Ducks. Who doesn't love ducks. Oh and eels. Heck yeah eels and ducks. Bring bread. Or cooked rice if youre worried about the effects of bread on ducks. Bread is better then nothing though, dont believe the hype. Bread wont actually hurt the ducks its just not as healthy. Hope you enjoyed this review on ducks. Watch out for the angry goose. He's mad at the other goose. Maybe the other goose stole his girlfriend. I dont know. I dont speak Canadian. Hope this helps”

“A Fun Spot for a Swim! If you're looking for a great place to cool off, Poripori Water Holes is the spot! Nestled in the Bay of Plenty, it's a fantastic swimming hole surrounded by lush bush and cool rock formations. Here’s how to get there and what to expect. Getting There Getting to Poripori Water Holes is pretty straightforward: Park: Find a spot in the gravel area along Poripori Road. Cross the River: You’ll need to hop across the Wairoa River. It's good to wear some shoes. Follow the Path: Look for a narrow path that leads you through some rocks and bush. There is also a path through the forrest. A bit hard to find when you go there.
