The boys had a great afternoon in the water.

Weather was amazing, it was so hot. Our kids really enjoyed it, we particularly enjoyed the paddleboarding and kayaking. The water was cold but perfect for this weather. We had a great time. Highly recommend.

Great fun in a beautiful setting on the river- lots to do for all ages. The activities kept all our multigenerational family happy- especially the teenagers . What a brilliant faculty on the edge of Tauranga.

You can find discounts for Waimarino on book me Tauranga. You can pack a picnic and there are loads of activities for adults and children. Definitely worth the $$$

Our extended family of 11, from 2yrs - 52yrs, were very impressed with this established & well maintained park! It's clean & tidy & the staff are very helpful, knowledgeable & experienced. There's much more to this place then just water activities. We spent the day on the water, as well as, rock climbing, abseiling, volleyball, & trampolining. There's something for everyone. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

Awesome day with the whanau. Caters for both young and old. Ample picnic space to set up a gazebo. Nice friendly staff and super safe. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back again.

The stand out were the staff, they were friendly, encouraging and took safety very seriously which was impressive. The activities are great for all levels of ability and if you have some courage stored up for a sunny day then this is the place for you :-) We were between 35-40yrs old and had a blast trying the BLOB and hydro slide. Great day out!

Love this place as there is something for everyone. We have taken our whole famy a few times, grandparents inuded. We took our 3 year old and she loves to be paddled around in a canoe and there's a cool little slightly warm pool for her and kids of all ages love the slip n slide. There's every thing from canoes, paddle boards, diving boards, swing, blob, trampoline on and off the water, rock climbing wall, paddle boats slip in slide warm pool and plenty of picnic tables and trees to picnic under. 5 stars well worth it. You can have as much fun as you like.

Tim Taylor took us to the magical kingdom of glow worms and shared with us his knowledge of the Mclaren Falls Park. We even saw some deer. The group was small and the evening was breathtakingly beautiful. Tim made some nice photos which he shared with us a few days later in high resolution. He is such a great guy full of adventure himself and is ready to share his knowledge of kayaking. Highly recommended to anyone in love with nature and adventure.

Lovely and peaceful on a Monday morning. Clean and comfortable. No spa jets just soft warm mineral water. Ahhh

The team at Skydive Tauranga were incredible from start to finish! Kitsch was my tandem jumper and Gui was my extra photographer/videographer jumper. As this was my first jump, I was understandably nervous, but the guys played a big part is keeping me cool. They were friendly, funny, professional and yet also laid back. Despite them having done tens of thousands of jumps, I feel like they were still invested in my excitement and anticipation of it being my first jump. I must also mention that in the past, I have been scared of flying. I can honestly say I had zero fear going up in the plane. It's a bit gnarly when the door is opened and you get into position to jump, but I felt safe and cared about the entire time. Not bad for people you've just met. A true testament to the guys. After the jump, my entire video/photo package was edited beautifully and sent to me within about half an hour. It was an incredibly impressive turn around period. For any new jumpers, I HIGHLY recommend paying the extra money and getting the most complete "Inside Out" package. You will not regret it. You will never get your first jump back, so do it. Not to mention the views are breathtakingly beautiful. The high quality of the pictures and video was impressive also; I might even have to get one of my favourite shots blown up onto a canvas or something. Gui and Kitsch, my Cessna pilot, and other team members who heled me upon arrival, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of one of the most exciting things I've ever done. Aside from the jump itself, one thing I will always remember about my jump was the smiles on Gui and Kitsch's faces. You guys do this all the time, but for myself and so many others, it was just the first time, and so thank you for not being nonchalant and for being buzzed and excited with me. I would go back to Skydive Tauranga EVERY SINGLE WEEK if I could. Fantastic team, fantastic experience. Annie G July 2022

Nice food, friendly staff

Fantastic day out! Highly recommend

The service and commentary was great. I loved listening to NZ history. The boat ride is a little long, a lot of waiting but I can imagine it being difficult having to find wildlife. We saw dolphins and a seal which was beautiful. Thank goodness we took antinausea tabs before the trip because it worked like wonders, highly recommend you doing that too because a few were feeling sea sick. Overall it was a great, thanks for the awesome experience.

We enjoyed our cruise. The timing was just enough, we saw ample dolphins. The cruise itself was smooth sailing, our ‘captain’ was well knowledged, friendly and accomodating. Got to take our own food and drink. Would highly recommend, perfect for all ages and we would definitely consider doing it again Only con would be the toilet room is quite small

This was an absolute amazing and incredible experience. Brandon and Heidi were a super team and made the day great for everyone. We saw a huge pod of Dolphins, and we were so close to the water that we could hear the dolphins talking in the water. My daughter is autistic and they were really good with her. Thank you

Friendly crew. I loads of Dolphins to see. Kids loved it too.5/5

A great day out with the crew got to see so dolphins and even Bruce (Jaws). Great commentary from the skipper about what was going on and where the dolphins where, and Izzy (sorry if i got your name wrong) spotting them. The swell was making it hard to get photos but I got a few good ones. The 4 stars does not mean things where lacking but if everyone gave 5 stars they my slip in the service

Wow what an awesome crew and amazing experience! Two pods of dolphins that just wanted to chill with and play. Incredible! And the weather and water couldn't have been better. Dream day. Thank you!

Great trip, great staff friendly, knowledgeable. We saw a pod of 80 to 100 dolphins which was fabulous. It was an older bigger boat but made very enjoyable by the staff.

Thanks to Bradon and Heidi for making this cruise a memorable experience for the seven of us (despite the small number). I wished I had seen any whale, but the leatherback turtles, blue penguins, and pods of dolphins would make up for that. I highly recommend this activity not only to support local businesses but also for those who would like to experience something new, different, and educational.

What an amazing day on the water. Dolphins, penguins, other bird life, fish and good conversation.

Nice people plus good view

Great food, great place to eat, love the atmosphere. I come from working in hospitality and understand big groups are important and bringing in more money that night. But unfortunately they were all seated after me but got all their drinks before me, settling them was more important which again I understand, my boss would tell me to focus on bigger groups more but yes that let's down smaller tables and we waited about 20 minutes just for two soft drinks.. Due to them taking all drink orders then bringing them their drinks.. Other than that, enjoyed my food and the experience was great, loved the mini junior stone grill. We will definitely be back. Just perhaps when larger groups are booked in, just one extra waiter on, can ensure no customers get a bit left behind.. Thanks :)

Good atmosphere, great food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

Incredible food, great service

Food was sooooo good, loved the ease of using a tablet to order. It sits on your table the entire meal so if you want to add drinks etc. No need to wait for the staff. It is brought to you when ready. Food was so good. Loved the buttermilk chicken. Pizzas were the best
