The Guided Walk

You will see plants endemic to NZ, that exist nowhere else in the world, some from the ancient Gondwanaland. Learn how the unique juvenile forms of the NZ trees had botanists fooled for years.

This day out takes you to one of the largest Kauri trees in the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park.

We walk at a leisurely pace along a well formed track.

During Mount Maunganui Cruise Ship Tours, your knowledgeable guide will share stories of the NZ bush and tell you about plants you will see along the way.

Additional Activities

Depending on the departure time of your ship, there is often time to stop on the way home to taste local wines or to have soak in a hot pool - bring your swimming gear or hire a private spa.

Recommendations

Comfortable walking shoes are a must; trainers or plimsolls are fine but no flip flops, sandals, or jandals please.
