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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 $$$

Highly recommended, fun yet safety conscious tour suitable for all ages. Fantastic experience, for my first ever glow worm kayaking evening tour. Out guides Jono and Emile, ran things like clockwork, oozing with professionalism. Clearly both are highly experienced kayakers. There was no waiting around, everything was so well organised that our evening flowed calmly and smoothly without a hiccup. The wine and nibbles set the scene right from the start. I am an experienced kayaker so didn’t need any additional assistance. We had a few in our group who had never kayaked. They were given all the guidance they needed to relax and thoroughly enjoy the misty kayak to and from the glow worm cave. And man, that cave blew my mind!!! Thanks for a fantastic evening and a definite highlight of my North Island holiday.

We took along a group of thirteen year old boys and they had a blast. Would definitely do it again!

Had an amazing time. Teenagers were off their phones and laughing and actually interacting with one another. Will absolutely be back!! (Big kids had a blast too)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

We had a great day out on the ocean! The staff were fantastic and ensured an unforgettable experience. We saw hundreds of dolphins and spent almost 2 hours at an island, where we had lunch and enjoyed some swimming. I would definately recommend this to anyone!

Really enjoyed the full day boat trip, great views around the Bay of Plenty, saw a couple of penguins, some flying fish, lots of seabirds and several pods of amazing dolphins swimming right up close to the boat.

When I saw people had said it was the best day ever I never believed that it would be exactly that. Beautiful weather. Great staff. And to beat all of that, whales🐳 Didn’t see much for the first 3 hours and then it all came at once! Highly recommended!😅

It was awesome day, we saw heap dolphins also hammerhead shark, penguins and nearly midday cruise stopped near small island for relax as I swam pretty close with seals, so awesome day but just one thing we wouldn’t know on cruise got nothing for us, the ticket full price excld everything! So please list detail for customer must bring your own lunch due to we would like to buy some meal but on cruise got frozen meal but was expired!!! So we have one day trip and have no food for whole day, so I might say it was my fault not prepared food but Bookme must revise your advertise include all detail about that. Anyway all great :)

This was probably my most beautiful adventure ever. Orca Wild Adventures team guided us safely through so many different sea world creatures from dolphins to blue sharks, two huge turtles, sea fish and at the end swimming with a seal in the picturesque bay. Thank you so much for your excellence and professionalism with a lot of love and subtly.

What a beautiful day with the wonderful Orca Wild Adventures!! Mark, Claire and Pauline were very friendly. They made sure everyone was having a great time on the boat and in the water during the snorkling trip. We got the chance to see somme dolphins, pilot whales (for the first time of the season!!), a nz seal waving at us, flying fish and many other ones... Loved my day out! Would definitely recommend this trip with them if you're in Tauranga!!

Hi, the trip was really amazing and ful of creatures and dolphins. We recommend this trip to all of you guys!

We had a really great time on the boat. We were a small group, so we had enough place on the boat. We had very good luck and we spot about 200 Dolphins which where hunting. It was magical! Further we saw about 6-10 whales. The staff was more than friendly! I can't complain something. Do it!

After having unfortunately canceled the excursion of January 6th because of the wind too strong, I was able to postpone the following day because the conditions were better. And what a lucky man I am ! We saw an incredible amount of dolphins and whales (different species), snorkel in a beautiful bay and the must for me was to swim with 2 seals in just perfect conditions. To see them in their element, swim with such grace and come so close to us will probably remain one of my best memories in New Zealand after a 1 year trip! I would also like to sincerely thank the wonderful crew, Mark flying and cooking, Rome & Claire always smiling and caring, very kind ! Thank You so much to Orca Wild Adventures, definitly worth it !!!
