Tauranga

One of the fastest growing populations in New Zealand and easily one of the most vibrant, idyllic coastal regions in the Southern Hemisphere, Tauranga offers world-class natural beauty, an accommodating township and welcoming community vibes all at once, making it the country's premiere beach town.

A perfect package of the kind of cultural and environmental richness New Zealand is famous for, Tauranga is an energetic and energising mid-point between capital cities Wellington and Aukland.

With a friendly communal atmosphere, and as home to the country’s second most active port, the town receives international visitors year-round and is celebrated for its endless Polynesian charm - with picturesque, white sand shores stretching kilometres and such singular natural landmarks as Mount Maunganui from which hikers can view the entire city, this is a destination filled with possibilities for holidayers looking to relax and restless outdoor adventurers alike.
