Tauranga Guide

Tauranga in the western Bay of Plenty is a popular area with visitors and tourists and a great place to stay or visit. Tauranga city center sits on a beautiful natural harbor protected by green forested Matakana Island and overlooking the extinct volcano of Mauao (Mount Maunganui). The area has a great range of bars and restaurants and extensive shopping area and local attractions on either side of the harbor and surrounding suburbs. On the west is Tauranga city center and over the bridge east leads to the Airport and into Mount Maunganui city center, pilot bay, and the beautiful pacific ocean beaches. Tauranga is one of New Zealand's fastest growing cities with a busy growing freight and cruise liner port.

It has a subtropical climate, popular white coastal surf beaches from Mount Maunganui to Papamoa. These often play host to organized surf and beach sports competitions, boating and sailing activities. Coastal islands and reefs make it a popular destination point for scuba divers, marine and boating enthusiasts. Other activities include swimming, surfing, fishing, diving, kayaking, and kitesurfing. You can also book a specially run dolphin-watching boat trip or tour on the harbor. Tauranga also has many parks including Memorial Park, Yatton Park, Kulim Park and Fergusson Park.
