10 April 2026. Our region is preparing for the arrival of Cyclone Vaianu this Sunday.
Please keep an eye on RNZ, BOPCD, TCC or WBOPDC and be prepared to adjust your travel plans, if necessary.

THE ONLY WAY IS UP

Despite our fabulous weather and abundance of nature-driven activities, sometimes you just want to be warm and dry indoors. Thankfully there are plenty of options to enjoy.

If you have kids to entertain, check out the region’s movie theatres and gaming arcades, or challenge yourself at a local Escape Room. A game of ten-pin bowling and laser tag is always popular, and BayStation is the place to go for indoor karting action. If you fancy a swim head to Baywave for some hyrdoslide and wave pool fun or one of the many heated indoor pool facilities.

Tauranga has a lively theatre scene, with many local productions staged throughout the year as well as touring national (and sometimes international) acts. Keep an eye on our events calendar to see what’s coming soon.
