Destination - Tauranga

Tauranga means ‘place of rest’ and with the sparkling harbour, amazing views and great cafes and restaurants, it does make a wonderful place to relax and recharge.

Perhaps the most popular place to visit is Mount Maunganui’s Main Beach which has been crowned the ‘Best Beach in New Zealand’ by TripAdvisor, and ranks amongst the top 25 best beaches in the world. Relax on white sand beaches, surf in the warm ocean waves, or swim in the relaxing waters of Pilot Bay.

The iconic Mount Maunganui, Mauao, which rises 232 meters from the sea has walking tracks around and to the top and provides 360 degree views which span the entire length of the Bay of Plenty. A must see!!
