From Port Tauranga at the base of Mauao (Mount Maunganui) we travel into the countryside to the iconic Poripori Water Holes on the Wairoa River.
Kitted out in wetsuits, safety gear, funky webbed gloves and flippers, we carry our bugs to the river to try them out. It’s super easy to learn and loads of fun!
Against a backdrop of native forrest we explore the Wairoa’s amazing geology drifting through deep pools, sliding between rocks and down small drops amongst the Wairoaʻs impressive pot-holes carved out of the bedrock by stones and water. After the tour we return to Tauranga via the back roads past avocado and kiwifruit orchards and stunning views to Tauranga.
