Embracing one of New Zealand's
biggest natural harbours, Tauranga is a leisurely city surrounded by ocean and
bathed in sunshine. It is also the biggest city in the Bay of Plenty region and
offers something for absolutely everyone. Not only is it one of the country's
top summer holiday destinations, it boasts an energetic urban vibe and is where
most dream of kicking back in retirement.
Beach bodies bask on the white sands that stretch along the Pacific coast of the
peninsula suburb, Mount Maunganui, watched over by the iconic Mount
Mauao. The harbour buzzes with wind surfers, jet skiiers and boaters and also
plays host to summer cruise ships. Fishing tours, dolphin-watching trips and dive
charters abound. Downtown Tauranga nurtures a thriving commercial and cultural
scene. Lined with harbourside bars, cafes and restaurants, The
Strand is the core of the city's nightlife. Art-lovers enjoy browsing the
weekend artisan markets at the Cargo
Shed, or marvelling at the masterpieces displayed in the Tauranga
Art Gallery. Thousands of music connoisseurs revel in the smooth sounds of
April's National
Jazz Festival. And nothing beats enjoying a glass of fine wine in the sunshine
at the renowned Mills
Reef Vineyard.
