On our South Pacific cruise, our day with Grant was equaled only by our time snorkeling on Bora Bora. That is just how much we enjoyed this day! We found Adventure Bay of Plenty on TA and contacted Grant, who provided fast responses and a “plan” incorporating several things we wanted to do while in port for one day. We... More

Kev was nice and tried his best, but you could tell that he wasn’t fully comfortable and familiar with all of the sites and giving background information. I was in contact with Grant to make the...

To start with I was able to take most of the tours but as interest has increased I have needed to find additional staff. They are all qualified but you reviews are welcomed as it helps me decide on... More

We went with our two young kids on the Glow Worm Tour and we had an amazing time. Grant was great- very accommodating and made the trip feel very personalised to our needs and at our pace. My husband has been on 2 other glow worm tours and he said that Grant's was much better due to the fact we... More

We arrived in Tauranga on a cruise ship in January 2012. We had pre-booked a day of kayaking, biking, blokarting and touring with Grant but unfortunately due to the weather our day was a little different - thank goodness for Grant's flexibility. Despite the change in plans this was a fabulous day. Grant showed us the beautiful countryside in the... More

As passengers on a cruise ship, we booked Grant's tour in advance to go kayaking, biking, blokarting and touring. Unfortunately, when the ship pulled into port, the storm was so bad that all the activities had to be scratched. However, Grant put together a great day of seeing the local sights, history of the area and even part of our... More

They went white water rafting and I think my husband is still talking about the outstanding thrill of the waterfall they went over. We then traveled to "Hell's Gate" it was an opportunity to see the geological activity and it was not crowed, we had... More
