Description

Easy activity

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Celebrate the bounty of the Bay of Plenty with a tour of Kiwifruit Country, a horticultural tourist attraction that showcases the phenomenal kiwi, one of the world's healthiest fruits. During your visit, you'll meet a Maori family and hear their stories and enjoy their songs and dances as they trace their family history through the generations. Then marvel at the extraordinary volume and quality of fruit produced here with a guided walk under the green and gold kiwifruit vines. A freshly prepared tea will be served, and you'll have an opportunity to shop for gifts and souvenirs in the large retail shop. Another special treat is an exclusive visit (not open to the general public) to Maketu, the stunning coastal site of a centuries-old Maori fortification; its strategic location has been highly prized and ardently contested by neighboring Maori tribes, and its stunning, 360-degree panoramic views offers many photo ops.
