Great fun! - Great fun! Interesting facts from Daniel, who was delightful! Highly recommend doing one of their trips!
Trike ( we had the 4 seater) was very comfortable and we were even offered sunglasses to borrow as it was VERY sunny and you do get a bit wind blown!! Give up on keeping any sort of hairstyle !!!! A trip highlight!

Fun easy and just great! - An outstanding ride around the beautiful peninsula are with our friendly and informative driver Daniel. The team were just packing up as we came past on our way back to the cruise ship and graciously agreed to take another trip with us. Really fun, nice way to check out the area without having to walk great distances and just great. Thank you Daniel!

Great adventure - Excellent experience. The drive around mount maunganui was awesome. Driver giving us commentary about places we were passing was interesting. Feeling of the wind through the hair was something I only thought happened in the movies. Boys enjoyed this and wanted it to last longer.

Mt Maunganui in Winter - Loved the Mount walk, soaking in the hot pools afterwards and just being out enjoying the shops, coffee and happy people vibe. Sunshine ☀️ too. 👍

THE BEST TAURANGA EXPERIENCE! - This is one of THE BEST & MOST FUN things we have ever done in our 70+ years! Nigel gave us very interesting history and facts about Tauranga, its surroundings and lots of great information. This is a family run business and you can really feel the welcoming warmth of New Zealand when you deal with Nigel, Kathryn and their daughter Stephanie. It is a MUST DO when you visit Tauranga!

V8 Trike in Mt Maunganui - Haha booked wrong think the price was per person and got a complete trike to myself! The host was lovely, showed me all the sites and knew history behind buildings and houses and Māori traditions etc! Never been on a trike before , was something different and a great way to explore the town - fully recommend

Money over people. - Messaged the company about my dying mother’s last wish to be fulfilled about going for a ride on a motorbike. Asked if they would consider a small discount so that we could afford to do this for her as I see prices have gone from $90 - $180 for a 25min ride over last couple of years. Which was beyond my means. Said I’d understand if they couldn’t accept. But had to ask just incase. Got absolutely no reply at all. Felt this was incredibly cold and totally uncaring. Clearly only in it for money, no charitable bone in them. A sorry we can’t do this would have been accepted & understood, but no reply at all is just cold. It’s now too late.
