Quirky and creative arts and crafts can be found in Tauranga and throughout the country. Art is very much a part of our Kiwi culture. All of the metropolitan centres around the country have exciting public art galleries and exhibitions, as well as dealer galleries. Many regions have high concentrations of painters, craftspeople, sculptors, photographers, printers and carvers – perhaps because of the inspiring landscapes. But don’t limit yourself to just these locations; many superb pieces can be found all over the country.

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 cafés, 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.
