Itinerary

Friday  27th January 2023   MT, L

We begin our day heading to the outskirts of Tauranga to the Sweet Pea & Jasmine Studio. On a large property in Pahoia beautiful English flowers grow that are sold around the area. Shontelle has been a florist for over 20 years, creating stunning bouquets for high-profile, large-scale events, photo shoots and movie sets around the world. See where she creates her magic. Next, we stop for morning tea, then head to Waihi Academy. Situated among the scenic and peaceful rolling hills of rural Waihi, this 6-hectre property offers a range of facilities that promote experienced-based educational interaction for a diverse range of interests and people. Here we will enjoy a delicious catered lunch, tour around the property for a glimpse of the modern facilities and peaceful environment before we meander around the lavender fields. It will be the perfect season to experience the stunning purple spikes dancing gently under the breeze and smell the early floral scent. Before we leave, we will be treated to a delicious real fruit ice cream, then it is back on the bus. Waihi beach is our next stop, where we will disembark and enjoy a stroll on the beach and enjoy this great summer destination, followed by a tiki tour to Bowentown, if time allows.
