Welcome to Tauranga
Tauranga is situated in the Bay of Plenty.  This is on the north eastern coast of the north island and was named by Captain Cook.
Tauranga is a coastal city and is both a tourist focal point and an important commercial center for New Zealand.  It is severed by a busy port at nearby Mount Maunganui.
Why not climb Mount Maunganui? Reaching the top gives brilliant views of Tauranga and the surrounding area.  For those who do not fancy the climb can laze on the beach or swim in the hot saltwater pools near the foot of the hill.
Amongst the leading attractions in Tauranga are the Tauranga Historic Village, giving the pioneer history of the area, and The Elms Mission House.  Tauranga also has one of New Zealand's finest surfing beaches.
