Port of Tauranga, New Zealand

Rotorua, Tauranga, was our port stop today.

Tauranga was very nice – built up, restaurants, shopping, nice homes by the beach. We took the bus tour along the beach and to the kiwi fields. Turns out Tauranga area produces more kiwi than any other area in New Zealand.

We learned the great benefits of kiwi – 3x more vitamin C than an orange. We sampled delicious green and yellow kiwi (red too expensive). Very juicy and delicious. Then we had a song/dance performance by a Māori family. We took lunch and toured the beach and shopping area.Read more
