This Royal Signature Excursion℠ delivers a hand-picked small group adventure that wows with its intimate tour size, regional culinary flavors, expert local guides and renowned service. Your guided experience begins with a drive through the rolling green hills of the region, before arriving at a working gold kiwifruit and avocado orchard. Here, get up close and personal with the vines and trees, as you learn how these iconic fruits are grown. Savor some fresh samples straight from the source, before continuing to Minden Lookout, one of the area’s most breathtaking vantage points. Admire the sweeping panoramic views of Mt. Maunganui, Tauranga City, and your cruise ship resting in the harbor below – the perfect photo opportunity. After, head to a honey farm, where you can taste locally produced honey, observe live working hives, and perhaps even spot a queen bee in action. Finish your excursion at Clarence, an elegant restaurant housed within a historic post office building. Indulge your taste buds with a specially-crafted meal, paired with a delectable wine tasting, before returning to your awaiting ship.
