Tauranga Shore Excursion

We are going to be in Tauranga and our port time has been modified to arrive at 4:30AM and leave at 4:30 PM. We have a 7 hour shore excursion, (Rotorua- Te Puia, Geysers, Culture and Kiwis) booked with Zeelandier Tours that returns us to the ship at 3:30.  We are concerned that this is cutting it too close and does not allow for any unforeseen delays with traffic, etc. Zeelandier assure us that this timeframe is fine and they will get us to the next port (Bay of Islands) if necessary but this alternative does not make us comfortable. Does anyone have any opinions if this is cutting it too close?

You should be fine with an hour leeway IF this is a 'shore excursion' with Zeelandier as in those cases they normally shift timing to accommodate time in port. There's no way they want to get you to the next port. 

 

I just popped a new screen and yes, it's a shore excursion 

 

FWIW: I have a shorter return time in Napier where I'm doing Mohaka River Rafting and 'Norm' gets me back ... but it $112 vs $249
