shipsealand Posted April 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2015 For the ports of Picton and Tauranga, how close is the town to the ports where the Princess Cruises ships dock (in particular the Diamond Princess in December)? Are there local tours that can be booked at the pier or terminal building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatosauce Posted April 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In Picton they generally dock at the working port and then shuttle you to downtown Picton. From there you can pick up a tour BUT it is a small town so you are much better booking ahead of time or via the ship. There isn't much to do in town.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 20, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The port of Tauranga is actually at Mt Maunganui, and walking distance to the town and great beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatosauce Posted April 21, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2015 They generally run a $10 return shuttle to downtown Tauranga. There are generally some tours being sold at the gate to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
