I'm a bit surprised the tour companies can still get insurance. If doing quad bike tours one should check their travel insurance as they are considered high risk transport and lumped in with scooters therefore needing extra 'adventure' premium.

aussiebossyboots Posted August 8, 2019 Author #27 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Quad biking is out 100%. I am surprised that Princess is offering this tour. After reading a Tripadvisor review it would be a dangerous thing to do, especially for us at our age. The potential to fall off is there unfortunately. The trike bike might be an alternative as you have an experienced rider taking you around while you sit at the back with a seat belt. Expensive though at NZ$115 for 25 minutes, but this is for the trike which can hold two passengers. But you (lyndarra) make a good point about checking our travel insurance to make sure that this is included just in case. Thanks for the heads up.

Still a good option. That's just outside the cruise wharf entrance, to the right. I remember seeing them there when we were walking into the Mt Maunganui shopping centre earlier this year.

It's on the list for booking. Cheers, There is no mention about going to the top of Mt Maunganui on any of those trike tours. I doubt it would be possible, sorry.

We took the longer tour as they offered that at a reduced price on the day. Remember that price was in $NZ so not as expensive as it sounds. A wonderful 90 minutes.
