    Tauranga


    The Bay of Plenty is a place of beautiful harbours and long white surf beaches, with a sunny climate.

    The Pacific Coast Highway touring route brings travellers into the bay, and the city of Tauranga is often the first port of call. Located on a stunning harbour, Tauranga is a thriving commercial centre with a spectacular beach called Mt Maunganui.

    Mt Mauganui is dominated by the volcanic cone of Mauao. This rocky outcrop provides an an excellent hiking challenge with great views of the coastline and surrounding city. The white sand beach at Mt Maunganui is huge and reaches all the way to Whakatane, 100 kilometres to the east. Whakatane is a beautiful town that offers expeditions to White Island, New Zealand's only active marine volcano.
