Tauranga

 Has anyone been into the port of Taraunga? Just wondering if taxis are readily available at the end of the pier?

Also keen to find out about how to get to the airport to pick up a hire car.

Last January we did what you're planning to do.  We booked a car for pickup at the airport, I think with car rental company Sixt.  There are taxis waiting a short walk from the port area.  It was a quick ride to the airport.  All very easy and stress free.

 

We had a great day touring Hobbiton, Rotorua, etc.

Thanks for your reply SeaCbear. We don't have an excursion booked and the ship is sold out for all but water activities for Tauranga. I was hoping to hire a taxi at the end of the pier and have them take us around. We have had luck in the past hiring a taxi for tours but I didn’t know if this was feasible there.
