Tauranga

Tauranga City's Absolute Essentials

Tauranga City is anchored by the landmark dormant volcano, Mount Maunganui (Mauao), and the bustling Port of Tauranga, the country's largest by cargo volume. The city center features the Tauranga Art Gallery and specialized performance spaces like the Detour and Repertory theatres. Beyond the coast, the region offers thermal relaxation at the Mount Hot Pools and family-oriented activities at Waimarino Adventure Park and the iconic Rocket Slide at Memorial Park.
