Travel agency in Tauranga

“I've visited this cafe many times, and each time I get great service. The environment is one you want to come back to, either to relax or to get some work done. The food is great and the coffee is excellent as well. Definitely visit this cafe when you get the chance!”

“This is more than an information center...it is also Katikati's Arts Junction where you will find the Carlton Gallery. The exhibitions change about every two weeks and the dozen or so I've seen so far have all been excellent! It's worth a regular visit.”

On the plate at Osteria Matamata, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Service stays present without fuss. Orders move at a steady pace. Se...

“Re: Wai O Tapu Geothermal Wonderland Combo Tour A big thanks to Zealander Tours and our guide Stephen for providing such a great value-packed experience. We made the most of our time and covered a lot of ground during our cruise port visit.”

“Excellent shop for everything kiwiana to take back home or gift to an overseas visitor. The bus to hobbit town boards just outside the centre along with having a lively place to eat under the trees. Close to mcds too”

“Great place to shop or grab coffee and a bite to eat at one of the many cafes or restaurants. Gusto has the best Eggs Benedict around and Luca is highly recommended for coffee, ask for Dimi, she'll sort all your coffee needs.”

“Lots of information about kawerau and new Zealand here. Clean toilets to use while waiting for your bus. Plenty of merchandise to purchase and there is plenty of benches to wait on while the bus arrives. You could stop here for a breather if doing long trips too as they have picnic table to enjoy your lunch on along with bathrooms.”

“Services are great! I use the school runs that Uzabus provide most days (After school obviously) and the drivers are very nice people, and the vibe is generally pretty chill, for the most part. I've also gotta tip my hat to the people who maintain the buses, because I've seen multiple buses in Uzabus' fleet that are very old, have over 1M km's on the odometer (I know of one with about 2.5M km on the odometer), or are one of a kind in the country. Good people, and probably very good mechanics.”

“Cathy has been incredible to deal with! What a fantastic travel agent to be working with! Everything has been arranged so easily for us. Can't thank her enough!”

“Very tidy cinema, well priced. Great seats. Only down fall is the exit sign is to bright. Especially when movies playing and your in the seats that in line or under the sign.”

“Classic Cruises offers a perfect solution if you are looking to experience the beauty and natural wonders of Lake Rotoiti. Check out the scenery, experience the hot pools, or catch a nice juicy trout - highly recommended!”

“9th Dec 2023 Dean was brilliant... even had us laughing at his corny jokes. He gave us a very comprehensive personalised look at beautiful Tauranga. The kiwi farm visit was very informative. It was a highlight to meet the actual farmer. Highly recommend. GREAT TOUR.”

“My partner has a heirloom ring that we were keen to get valuated. Very relaxed and easy communications to set up a consultation followed by a warm welcome when we entered the shop. Glen is truly passionate about all things gems and jewelry, accompanied by an encyclopedic knowledge. We were very happy with the service Glen provided. Highly recommend.”

“Incredible experience and lots of fun for the whole family. Highly recommend”

“Had a great time with Tom on a rainforest hike. He was flexible and adjusted plans because of weather and took us to two spectacular rain forests. He is crazy knowledgeable and open to lots of questions. I feel like I not only got a great day in nature but learned a lot as well. My only regret was we didn’t have more time in our itinerary to book more tours with Tom. Would definitely do again.”

“I had great experience dealing with Harjinder.”

“NAILED IT! I contacted Tāpoi Travel and 2 other travel agencies to plan my husband and my bucket list trip. My inquiry was the same with all 3 agencies I reached out to. I did not want a typical Australian vacation. We love adventure, and I am a big adrenaline addict. My husband and I are foodies and are very much into wine tasting, so I wanted to get to enjoy our Australian vineyards as we ate and tasted great wines across the country. When I met with Toni, she read my inquiry and wanted to help make the trip everything I imagined. (The other agents gave me a typical Australian vacation big things to see and do with no real adventure and did not include any of the vineyards I initially showed interest in.) To make it even more complicated, we wanted to spend Christmas and New Year's in Australia. Toni and Luke worked hard coming up with ideas and tweaking them as we made changes and additions until we had the perfect trip. We started in Perth and spent Christmas Day on Rottnest Island, riding electric bikes and snorkeling. (BEST DAY EVER) Since it was Christmas, there was not much for lunch on the Island, so they jumped in and added a lunch reservation at a local resort. From then to the end of our trip, we had so many unique experiences, and as we talked to other people, they were so surprised at what we were doing. Many Australians told us they had never experienced many items on our itinerary. We had wine tasting, an airplane ride over the pink lakes, traveled The Nullabar, walked a bridge over the tingle trees, went down into the caverns beautiful cave, swam with sea lions and dolphins, took a hot air balloon ride over Melbourne, spent the night at the Taronga Zoo, climbed the Sydney bridge, toured the Sydney Opera House, had a great food tour, visited many vineyards, and more things I can not even think of at the moment. Tāpoi arranged everything, from drivers and transportation to lodging and tour guides. Upon arrival, they took care of everything we needed and had little notes or instructions in our rooms. In addition, Toni checked in on us often to ensure there were no problems; if there was a problem, she and Luke were super quick to help fix it. (BTW, there was only one actual problem, but it was quickly resolved and was more of the driver being in the wrong area at the airport, not a real issue.) I can not say enough positive things about Tāpoi. They executed a fantastic trip of a lifetime, and we are looking forward to working with them on our next big adventure to New Zealand!”

“Travelled with Phil and did the Everest Trek. Both my son and I loved it and made amazing memories. The trip was well organized and well planned. We did not have to do any planning other then getting ourselves into and out of Nepal. Everything else was sorted from the hotels, taxis and helicopters. Thanks for the amazing memories…..”

“We used Shore Trips and Tours to book 3 tours - 1 in Dunedin, 1 in Akaroa, and 1 in Tauranga (with an actual ST&T employee). We had no issues with an of our tours, instructions and contact info was clear and we had good communication with them in the months leading up to these tours. The tour that was actually through them was for Rotorua and Hobbiton in Tauranga and was great! Our guide (Mark?) Gave us some info as we went from place to place, made sure we stayed fed and on time, and got us back to our ship with time to spare! Will use to book tours again if we are in NZ again!”

“Lovely people. We have booked a Southland tour with them. Cant wait”

“Friendly service and loved the new coaches”
