About Us
Cruise Tours Tauranga is a division of Freewheeling Tours Limited. The business is locally owned and operated by Susanna Shelton and Karen Conroy. The parent Company, Freewheeling Tours, is a well established business offering guided and self guided cycling tours and bike hire from its base in Tauranga. With the expansion of the cruise ship industry in New Zealand, Susanna and Karen decided to diversify their operations to offer a range of sight seeing tours to cruise ship passengers visiting Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty. Susanna and Karen are both qualified teachers with many years experience in the educational fields. Susanna was the Principal of a Teritiary college for 20 years and Karen, a qualified secondary school teacher, owned and operated a large outdoor educational facility in Australia, specialising in adventure and personal growth programs for secondary students. They both have a great cultural and heritage knowledge of New Zealand backed up by many years of living in Tauranga, so you will be sure to learn something interesting on your day out with Cruise Tours Tauranga.
Susanna and Karen have also travelled extensively both in New Zealand and overseas. They understand what makes the difference between a good tour and a great tour and they have taken those little things on board to make sure you have the very best experience you can on your day out with them. The business has been "Qualmarked" which means it has been through annual stringent auditing by the New Zealand Government to qualify as an approved tourism business.
