If you come to Tauranga
looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't
leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling
activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters
and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides.
New Zealand
is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is
found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are
exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and
magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of
land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy
jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or
parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive.
Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle
both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.
Tauranga: Tauranga is the largest residential and commercial area of the coastal Bay of Plenty. Fertile lands and a pleasant climate make it the centre of a large kiwifruit and citrus-growing area. The newly developed waterfront has cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Sulphur Point Marina, Harbour Bridge Marina and Coronation Pier offer options for swimming with dolphins. Children would enjoy a visit to an animal park, which also sells fishing licences. Wineries are a great option for relaxed dining after free wine tasting! The fish markets sell fish wholesale and retail, and also offer takeaways.
