Tauranga

Nestled in pristine blue waters next to the towering presence of Mount Maunganui, Tauranga is a gateway to exploring the Bay of Plenty, and inland destinations including the popular Rotorua.
Tauranga’s downtown area is a charming blend of history and modernity. Explore the Strand, a waterfront strip brimming with boutique shops, cafés, and restaurants, or visit the Tauranga Art Gallery for a taste of local creativity. History enthusiasts will enjoy stepping back in time at The Elms Mission Station, one of New Zealand’s oldest heritage sites.
For those seeking adventure, the region offers plenty of activities, from dolphin-watching cruises and kayaking to wine-tasting tours and exploring the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, just a short drive away.
