Tauranga City Center
A self-guided walk around Tauranga City Center is a great way to see the major historical sights of New Zealand’s fifth largest city. Many of the landmarks are signed with comprehensive information panels. Places of interest include the Old Post Office, constructed in the early 20th century to replace the fire-destroyed (wooden-built) council offices, the original Bonded Wharehouse, build in 1883 to hold taxable goods, Robbins Park which boasts an enchanting rose garden, and Elms Mission Station, founded in 1847 to facilitate the (European style) education of the native Maori population.

Geothermal Site (Rotorua)
A popular excursion is the trip to a Geothermal Site in Rotorua. Here you can see and smell geysers, steam vents and bubbling mud pools. Several geothermal areas are also home to a traditional Maori village, and the combination makes for a unique Kiwi experience. Areas to pick from include Wai-O-Tapu, Te Puia and Whakarewarewa.

Mt Ngongotaha (Rotorua)
Another possible excursion option is Mt Ngongotaha. A gondola whisks you to the summit, where you can enjoy the extensive views, then the young (and young-at-heart) can shoot downhill on a wheeled luge.
