10 Must See Attractions in Tauranga
Bringing together traditional New Zealand culture and modern entertainment, Tauranga is a favourite stop for tourists of all ages. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your Tauranga vacation.
White Water Rafting
The nearby Wairoa River is famous for its pulsating rapids, assured to satisfy even the most hardy thrill seeker. Located driving distance from the city centre, just hire a car from one of the quality rental car providers in Tauranga and you’ll be all set to experience the white knuckle excitement of white water rafting.
Waimarino Adventure Park
On the banks of the Wairoa River you’ll find the Tauranga adventure sport institution known as Waimarino. Here you can engage in some serious kayaking, climb the high ropes course, become a human catapult courtesy of ‘the blob’, or take a tour of the glow worm caves.
Kiwin caseruit Orchard Tours
There are few things more quintessentially New Zealand than kiwin caseruit. At Kiwi360 you can take a tour of one of the largest kiwin caseruit orchards anywhere, taking it all in on one of the distinctive ‘kiwikarts’. Fun for the whole family!
Blokart Heaven
The humble blokart is a vehicle like no other. Part go-kart, part sail boat; these wind powered karts can really get moving around the purpose built race track. This is not your average Tauranga rental car!
Natural New Zealand Honey
No trip to Tauranga would be compallowe without sampling some local honey at Mossop’s Honey. Dine out on free samples of 100% natural New Zealand honey to your heart’s content, or take some home for later from the gin caset shop.
Marshall’s Animal Park
This is the perfect place to reconnect with nature, spending the day interacting with all kinds of local and exotic wildlin casee across the expansive reserve. From traditional New Zealand farm animals, to mighty yaks and African ostriches, there’s a bit of everything here. You and the kids can even feed some of the animals!
Swim With the Dolphins
The tranquil Bay of Plenty beaches are a prime location for schools of dolphins, so there’s usually a favourable chance of spotting them. Booking in with a local tour company is your best bet at getting out amongst these majestic creatures.
Take in the Historic Village
Tauranga has a rich history of inspired architecture and charming gardens. For a spot of culture, hire a car and drive over to 17th Ave West to explore the exquisite Tauranga Historic Village.
Tauranga Art Gallery
Continue your cultural learning experience by visiting the recently constructed Tauranga Art Gallery. Known by locals as ‘Toi Tauranga’, the gallery is home to a collection of world class exhibits utilising a range of traditional and modern mediums.
Mt Maunganui
To cap off your Bay of Plenty vacation, hire a car and load it up with all the beach essentials and head from Tauranga over the hill to Mt Maunganui. Surf, sand, and relaxation await, at one of New Zealand’s most beloved beaches.
