From the airport and the Port of Tauranga to Bay Oval, the summer festivals and day trips across the Bay of Plenty.
Tauranga Airport sits between the city centre and Mount Maunganui, around 10 minutes' drive from either, with Air New Zealand flights from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. We meet your group on arrival and take you to your hotel, your venue or your event, and back again for the flight home. We also run group transfers to and from Auckland Airport. Give us your flight details when you ask for a quote.
Whether it's a sports team heading to a tournament, a school orchestra on tour or a class trip around the Bay, we provide a vehicle sized for your group. Tell us how many students and adults are travelling, what luggage, instruments or sports gear you carry, and your times. Our drivers carry out a safety check at the start of every shift, including seatbelts.
We carry wedding guests, corporate functions, birthday groups, hen and stag parties, cruise ship groups from the Port of Tauranga and cricket fans heading to Bay Oval. We also run day trips to Rotorua, the Hobbiton Movie Set, Katikati and the Bay's wineries and beaches. For large events needing several vehicles, we plan and coordinate the whole transport operation.
Minibuses and coaches from 8 to 57 seats, with a driver always included. For larger groups, we supply multiple vehicles.
All vehicles hold a current Certificate of Fitness and are regularly serviced and cleaned.
