Discounts for Locals

If You Live Locally, These Discounts Are Just For You!

Being a Bay local is a pretty sweet deal – but who doesn’t love scoring an extra bargain now and then?!

Many of our best attractions offer discounts for local residents, so we’ve compiled a list of what’s on offer. You’ll generally need proof of your address so grab your latest utilities bill and go have some fun without breaking the bank.

Baywave: Discount on general admission for TECT customers ($6.40 per adult vs $8; $4.20 per child vs $5.30). Note: TECT no longer issue a discount card so take your Trustpower bill with you to get the cheaper rate).
Dolphin Seafaris: 10% discount for locals using ‘GoLocal’
Mauao Adventures: 15% off ALL activities with proof of address.
Hibiscus Surf School: 15% off ALL products using promo code (15OFF).

Mount Hot Pools: Receive half-price admission with your Tauranga Resident Card. You must live or own a property within Tauranga City Council boundaries to be eligible. Bring proof of your address to the Hot Pools and fill out an application form – you will then be issued with a card for future use. Too easy!
Skydive Tauranga: Show your Tauranga Resident Card to receive a discount. If two people jump together, you’ll receive 10% off the jump price per person. If a single person jumps, they’ll receive 10% off all camera packages.
