Escape to Tauranga and Whakatāne for an unmissable coastal discovery.

The Bay of Plenty is home to award-winning beaches, juicy kiwifruit and active adventures for kids of all ages. In Tauranga, explore local art galleries, exceptional street art, cafes and live music venues. Or take a short drive to the Bay of Plenty’s best attractions including Mauao, The Elms Te Papa, Mills Reef Winery and The Hobbiton Movie Set. Paddle on the calm waters of Lake McLaren with a scenic kayak tour and follow your guide into the stunning Mangapapa canyon. Moutohorā Island is yours to discover in a guided tour of this little-known treasure. Along the way, visit a fur seal colony and swim at secluded hot water beach Onepū Bay. For a wonderfully relaxing experience, soak in the Mount Hot Pools and allow the warm waters rich in natural salts rejuvenate and heal. From island sanctuaries to coastal walkways and unforgettable cultural experiences, let the Bay of Plenty be your haven in this short getaway.
