WELCOME TO TAURANGA
Tauranga means ‘place of rest or anchorage’ in Māori and while the sparkling harbour and magnificent views make it a great place to relax and recharge, there’s also plenty to keep you busy.
Home to just over 160,000 people, Tauranga is the only city in the coastal Bay of Plenty. This bustling urban centre is surrounded by water and locals’ lives consist of fishing, diving, swimming and simply enjoying the stunning views from almost every corner.
what to do in Tauranga
Explore the culture, art and history of Tauranga, or take a walk along the endless waterfront and soak in the epic views of the surrounding islands and busy harbour.
