About Tauranga

The main centre of the Bay of Plenty region, Tauranga is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Just outside of the city is the popular beach resort of Mount Maunganui.

Tauranga's waterfront area has undergone a major redevelopment in the past few years. Explore the harbourside cafes and restaurants and attractive public spaces.

Tauranga is a great place for boating, fishing, dolphin sightseeing and surfing! Alternatively, try blokart sailing (sailing on go-karts) - a uniquely Kiwi invention, invented in Tauranga. Other nearby beaches include Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Ocean Beach and Waihi, all suitable for kids and families. 

If you're visiting Tauranga, make sure you climb Mauao (Mount Maunganui) for incredible views. The 232-metre-high summit takes approximately 40 minutes to reach. The views are certainly worth it! After a hike up the mountain don't miss a trip to the country's only salt water hot pools at the base of the Mount - it's an amazing experience and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. 

As Tauranga is located on the coast, you can easily access White Island from here. Many companies offer scenic flights over New Zealand's only active water volcano. 

Other fun things to do in Tauranga include visiting Adrenaline Forest, taking a scenic kayak tour along Lake McLaren through native bush, or visiting the city's art galleries and museums.
