Bay of Plenty - Tauranga
OCEAN > SPIRIT > EARTH
Located only two and a half hours drive from Auckland, the sophisticated city of Tauranga offers its’ own unique twist to the big city lifestyle, but all at a more relaxing pace. Set at the entrance to a beautiful, natural harbour, Tauranga has two large and modern marinas holding over a thousand yachts and launches, and numerous charter boat operators ready to take clients beyond the harbour entrance, where the marlin waters of Mayor and White Island await the game fishing enthusiast.
Cross the harbour bridge to Mt. Maunganui and clients can stroll the white sandy beaches, or walk the very popular 2.9 km base track around “Mauao” (the dormant volcano cone known as “the Mount” that dominates the landscape wherever you go in the Tauranga region).
Adventure seekers wanting a truly adrenalin charged experience can choose from paragliding, skydiving, jet skiing, white water rafting, 4WD safaris, gliding, jet boating or swimming with dolphins. By helicopter, they can land at White Island, a living remnant of Earth’s violent creation that is truly one of New Zealand’s unique icons, which lies 50 kilometres off the Bay of Plenty coast.
